It is reported that Pavel Durov will be subject to judicial supervision, provide a bail of 5 million euros, an obligation to report to the police station twice a week, and is prohibited from leaving France. The court said that Telegram's previous almost complete lack of response to legal requests had attracted the attention of the Cybercrime Unit (J3) of the JUNALCO (National Jurisdiction against Organized Crime of the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office), and in particular of the OFMIN (National Office for Minors). The preliminary investigation began in February 2024 under the guidance of the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office and coordinated by OFMIN. Based on the introductory indictment of July 8, 2024, the judicial investigation was launched. The investigating judge entrusted the C3N (National Gendarmerie Cyber ​​Unit) and ONAF (National Anti-Fraud Customs Office) to continue the investigation.
