Telegram CEO Faces New Probe In France; Further Delay In Pavel Durov’s Release?

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends and a knack for separating fact from fiction, I must admit that the latest developments surrounding Pavel Durov have left me both perplexed and intrigued.


As per recent updates, Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, is under fresh scrutiny in France, stirring debates about possible postponements in his release.

Telegram CEO Faces New Legal Hurdle In France

The potential freedom of the Telegram CEO has been put on hold due to a fresh investigation into accusations of severe acts of violence against one of his children. As per Barron’s report, this probe has been initiated by the French child welfare agency. The case centers around Durov’s son who was born in 2017 and currently resides in Switzerland.

Nevertheless, the specifics of the accusations remain unverified according to the report. Nonetheless, the recent progress in the investigation has fueled apprehensions about a potential extension in Pavel Durov’s detention in France.

He was arrested at Le Bourget airport outside Paris on Saturday. Recently, he has been transferred from police custody to appear in court today, for facing charges related to his management of Telegram. Notably, the Russian-born CEO has been accused of failing to curb illegal content on the app.

Currently, this recent development is causing heated debates within the market. It appears that certain social media posts indicated Durov has been freed by French officials, leading to an increase in Toncoin‘s price. However, it was later discovered that some users misunderstood being transferred out of police custody as his release. Importantly, the new investigation now casts doubt on when and if he may be released.
