Wiring: Pavel Durov “stuck” in France for another year

De River said that the decision on the arrest of Durav was taken after the prosecutor’s office realized how many investigations in different departments are inhibited due to ignoring telegram requests for the application of the law. According to the prosecutor’s office, the silence of the messenger command “was equivalent to complicity.”

According to Libération, which he quotes for Wired, only the French Gendarmerie told 2.46 thousand cases between 2013 and 2024, when the legal requests sent by the Telegram administrations remained unanswered.

Before the arrest of Durav, French security officials investigated one of the telegram users, who, according to the investigation, persecuted the minor girls and then admitted to violate. When the researchers asked the Telegram administration to reveal the identity of the suspect, she refused to do this, Politico wrote.

Rivers emphasized that the messenger command did not respond to the authorities of the authorities many times. “If it were once, we would not have thought about anything about Telegram. But this happened every time for each request in each country where we request [данные]”explained the representative of the prosecutor.

Durov was arrested at the Parisino de Le Burret airport on August 24, where he flew on a private plane from Azerbaijan. Two days later, he was accused of refusing to cooperate with the authorities in the field of cyber and financial crimes in the messenger. Later, the billionaires were released, but they took to trial, prohibited from leaving France, ordered that he obtained a bail of 5 million euros and appeared in the police twice a week.

At the beginning of December, the Paris Court first interrogated Durov. In mid -January, the French media wrote that at that meeting, Durov promised the representatives of the investigation and judges to “improve moderation” in Telegram.
