In the Dutch system (like most European systems), charges aren't public. Trials are in court, not the court of public opinion. This protects the suspect & ensures reintegration if innocent or post-sentencing. It's up to the defense to reveal info. #FreeAlex
He's held under suspicion of money laundering, per prosecutor's statements. Today they said the investigation is nearly complete. Defense received a document with findings & charges, so his lawyer can now work on the defense in detail. #FreeAlex
Via the family: Starting next Wed, 26th, he can await trial at home if electronic monitoring is ready. He'll be able to work on his defense, something impossible while detained. Trial starts May 24th, they'll decide if he can continue from home. #FreeAlex

Tornado Cash dev Alex Pertsev is, at least temporarily, free. #freealex

Someone from back at the camp sent me this blog post from @katie_haun talking about how OFAC overstepped in the #freealex situation.

If only she was as vocal when she was in the US Attorney's office during the takedown of @RealRossU.

OFAC Cannot Shut Down Open-Source Software By Katie Haun and James Rathmell

Prison sucks. I'm 3 months in and I'm only in a camp, and I can tell you everything about this blows.

This isn't even a #freeross post (or a #freealex one!).

We need to rethink prison in general. This is not the mark of a civilized society.
