According to the well-known KOL Mario Nawfal, Telegram founder Pavel Durov will appear in court on Saturday night and face multiple serious charges, including terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering and child abuse content. French media reported that Durov, a dual citizen of France and Russia, could face up to 20 years in prison.

Durov’s arrest is reportedly related to a lack of content moderation on the Telegram platform and his failure to cooperate with French law enforcement. The charges stem from a search warrant issued by the French National Judicial Police.
