Argentinian Ethereum developer "Fede's Intern" has been detained by Turkish authorities in Izmir, Turkey, on charges of assisting others in "abusing" the Ethereum network. Following the incident, Fede's Intern revealed via social media that Turkish authorities claimed he helped others abuse Ethereum, but specific details remain unclear. Fede's Intern denies all charges, emphasizing that he and his team are merely "infrastructure builders" and expressing willingness to cooperate with the authorities. Turkish crypto commentator Cenk pointed out that detention based on such vague accusations lacks legal basis. Turkey's current commercial, consumer, and criminal codes are typically used to handle crypto cases, so the legal validity of this incident remains questionable. Fede's Intern stated that the Turkish Minister of Interior personally made the accusation. Despite being detained, Fede's Intern has continued to post updates on social media, stating that he has been transferred to a private room and provided with food, and plans to travel to Europe via private plane to continue working with his legal team to address the charges.
