Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, appeared in a Paris court on December 6, 2024, for his first formal questioning in a criminal investigation. The inquiry is centered around allegations that Telegram facilitated criminal activities, such as the spread of illegal content and transactions, due to its failure to properly moderate the platform. Durov, who was arrested earlier in August, faces charges related to organized crime and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. After his release, he was placed under strict judicial supervision, including bail and travel restrictions. Durov has expressed trust in the French justice system but has denied the allegations, arguing that Telegram complies with European laws regarding digital platforms.#Binance #BTC
