â ïž Reuters: Today is crucial for Pavel Durov!
âïž On August 28, French judges will decide whether to release Pavel Durov or start an official investigation into the Telegram founder.
Updated details on the investigation will be provided this evening. âł
The probe is focused on "unnamed individuals" . The prosecutorâs office has not disclosed what crime Pavel Durov is suspected of.

If a formal investigation is initiated, Durov could be held in custody until the trial.
