Carrone says friends and global contacts helped secure his release after Turkey accused him of aiding misuse of an Ethereum privacy tool; legal fight ongoing.
Ethereum core developer Federico Carrone, known as “Fede’s Intern” on X, confirmed he has been released after being detained in Turkey for 24 hours over alleged links to an Ethereum privacy protocol.
“I’m finally out, safe and free. There was a small moment were things looked very bad but thanks to help from many I got released,” Carrone said in an X post on Monday.
According to Carrone, Turkey’s Minister of Internal Affairs accused him of “helping others misuse Ethereum” in an alleged connection to a privacy protocol. Carrone said he believes it is linked to a January 2022 research paper that assessed user privacy on Ethereum and Tornado Cash.
