Telegram CEO Faces New Legal Hurdle In France

The Telegram CEO’s release from French custody has been thrown into uncertainty as he faces a new probe into allegations of “serious acts of violence” against one of his children. According to Barron’s report, the probe was launched by the French child welfare office. The investigation revolves around Durov’s son, who was born in 2017 and now lives in Switzerland.

However, the details of the allegations are not yet confirmed in the report. Despite that, the latest probe update has sparked concerns over a further delay in Pavel Durov’s release 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.

Meanwhile, this latest development has sparked intense discussions in the market. Recent social media reports suggested that Durov has already been released by French authorities, sparking a rally in Toncoin price. However, it was later found that some users had misinterpreted the transfer from police custody as his release. Notably, the new investigation raises questions about the timing and likelihood of his release.
