⚠️ Reuters: Today is crucial for Pavel Durov!

⚖️ 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. ⏳

The probe is focused on "unnamed individuals" . The prosecutor’s office has not disclosed what crime Pavel Durov is suspected of.

👀 An official investigation doesn’t imply guilt and doesn’t necessarily lead to a trial; it might take years before reaching court.

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