According to Foresight News, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been accused by his former partner, Irina Bolgar, of harming their youngest son on five occasions between 2021 and 2022. The child was born in September 2017. These allegations were made a few months after Bolgar accused Durov of ceasing to pay her approximately $167,500 per month in child support.
Bolgar's lawyer confirmed that she and her three children are involved in this civil case. However, he declined to comment on any criminal proceedings related to the matter.
