Golden Finance reports that Ethereum core developer Federico Carrone (platform nickname "Fede's Intern") has confirmed that he has been released after being detained for 24 hours in Turkey on suspicion of being related to a certain Ethereum privacy protocol. "I finally made it out, safe and free. There was a time when things looked very bad, but with the help of many people, I was able to be released." Carrone stated in a post on the X platform on Monday. According to Carrone, the Turkish Interior Minister accused him of "helping others abuse Ether" and claimed that he was implicated in some privacy protocol. Carrone stated that he believes this matter is related to a research paper he published in January 2022, which assessed user privacy on Ethereum and Tornado Cash. "We have never assisted anyone in engaging in illegal activities; this is purely a study about mixers and their characteristics," Carrone stated.
