Paris prosecutor reports Durov's cooperation with investigators
The founder of the Telegram messenger Pavel Durov, who is currently in France, is cooperating with local judicial authorities.
The businessman is cooperating with the investigation and is complying with the conditions of control imposed on him after the charges were brought.
The Paris prosecutor Laure Bécaud informed the general public of this on RTL radio.
This is entirely within the framework of cooperation with judicial authorities at the present time, the TASS agency quotes a representative of the supervisory agency as saying.
Please note: this is how Madame Beko answered the host’s question about whether the Russian citizen complies with the conditions of judicial control and whether he reports to the police station twice a week.
The prosecutor also named two reasons why the decision was made to conduct an investigation directly against Durov.
First: the lack of response from Telegram representatives to the requests of French investigators.
The second is the desire to show that “in a world that is too often considered virtual, organized crime is developing.”
Beko stressed that this is precisely why her country has introduced a law that allows for prosecution for the administration of network resources carried out for the purpose of conducting illegal operations.
After such statements, the host asked: are the French authorities ready to detain the head of the social network X, Elon Musk, when he decides to visit the country?
The prosecutor reportedly left the question unanswered.
