Tornado Cash is an ethereum-based crypto mixing service that allows users to remain anonymous when transferring crypto-assets.
On Monday, Tornado Cash was sanctioned by the U.S. government for assisting criminals in laundering stolen money.
The suspect will be brought before an examining judge in Den Bosch at 11:30 local time on Friday, according to the FIOD.
FIOD have not ruled out multiple arrests.
