Dutch judge gains access to Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev's computer, will investigate whether he profited from privacy services

Dutch prosecutors investigating Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev recently gained access to Alexey Pertsev's laptop and used it to investigate key details such as the privacy service's governance and profitability, and whether he personally profited from it. Prosecutor Martine Boerlage said, "It is clear from the first scan that the suspect still has wallets in various places and nodes. Whether Pertsev is acting as a relay in the network will become clearer in the short term." The trial will continue on April 20. Foresight News previously reported that Pertsev's appeals in September and November were rejected after Dutch authorities arrested Pertsev last August following U.S. sanctions on Tornado Cash for alleged money laundering and use by North Korean hackers. The Dutch court recently ruled that he will be detained until April 21.
