  • Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been indicted by French authorities on charges including enabling drug trafficking, organized fraud, and dissemination of child pornography through his platform.
  • Durov has been placed under judicial supervision, required to pay a €5 million bond, prohibited from leaving France, and must report to police twice a week.
  • The indictment stems from an investigation that began in February 2024 into Telegram’s alleged lack of cooperation with law enforcement requests related to illegal activities facilitated on the platform.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was recently indicted in France on multiple charges and is now unable to leave the country. This follows his arrest at a Paris airport just days earlier.

Background Section Title: Durov’s Arrest and Investigation

Durov was arrested on August 24th at Le Bourget airport near Paris. This sparked the investigation by French authorities into Telegram’s practices. The investigation began back in February 2024 after reports from prosecutors about Telegram’s lack of cooperation and potential involvement in illegal activities. Durov has been accused of refusing to provide information to aid legal investigations.

Charges Section Title: The Charges Against Durov

The formal charges against Durov include enabling the use of Telegram for drug trafficking, organized fraud, disseminating child sexual abuse material, and not cooperating with law enforcement investigations. Durov was placed under judicial supervision, required to pay a €5 million bond, and prohibited from leaving France.

Telegram’s Response Section Title: Telegram’s Statement

Telegram’s Response: In response to the charges, Telegram released a statement asserting that Durov has nothing to hide. They claimed their moderation practices align with industry standards and are continually improving.

Conclusion

The charges against Durov stem from a months-long investigation by French authorities into Telegram’s role in facilitating criminal activities. Durov maintains his and Telegram’s innocence but is unable to leave France amid the ongoing legal proceedings. This case highlights the increased scrutiny tech companies are facing in Europe over moderation and illegal content concerns.
