Source: Politico

“Telegram chief Pavel Durov is once again free to travel as he pleases. The social media entrepreneur’s judicial supervision and prohibition on leaving France without authorization has been lifted by the courts, according to an official familiar with the proceedings, confirming reports from Bloomberg and AFP. The Telegram founder was arrested in France in August 2024 and charged with several organized crime offenses. Prosecutors accuse Durov and his Telegram messaging service of refusing to cooperate with authorities in proceedings to combat illegal content, including child pornography. Following his late-night arrest at Le Bourget airport, the courts placed Durov under strict judicial supervision, preventing him from leaving French territory.” (11/13/25)
