Ethereum Core Developer “Safely Released” After Detention in Turkey
According to Jinse Finance, Ethereum core developer Federico Carrone (known as "Fede’s Intern" on X) has confirmed that he has been released after being detained in Turkey for 24 hours on suspicion of involvement with an Ethereum privacy protocol. "I’m finally out, safe and free. There was a brief period when things looked very bad, but with the help of many people, I was able to secure my release," Carrone posted on X on Monday. According to Carrone, the Turkish Minister of the Interior accused him of "helping others misuse Ethereum" and alleged his involvement with a certain privacy protocol. Carrone stated that he believes the incident is related to a research paper he published in January 2022, which evaluated user privacy on Ethereum and TornadoCash. "We have never helped anyone engage in illegal activities; this was purely research on mixers and their characteristics," Carrone said.
