The Paris prosecutor’s office rejected the request of the founder of Telegram Pavel Durov to a trip to the United States for “negotiations with investment funds”, writes Politico. The prosecutor’s office told Politico that she made a decision on May 12 “on the grounds that such a trip was not urgent or justified.” The department reminded that Durov was forbidden to leave France without permission – he received this for a trip to Dubai from March 15 to April 7. Pavel Durov, arrested at the Paris airport in August 2024 and later released on bail, is under supervision. In September of the same year, he was charged – including the refusal to provide information on the requests of authorized bodies, complicity in the distribution of hacker programs and images of minor pornographic nature and laundering money received as a result of criminal actions. He cannot travel beyond France without the permission of law enforcement agencies. In addition to France’s citizenship, Durov also has the citizenship of the UAE. Over the past weekend, Durov said that the “Government of the Western European Country” demanded that Telegram “force the conservative voices”, hinting at France. This accusation was categorically rejected at the Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after which Durov specified that the request came from the head of French intelligence Nicolas Lerner, when they met in the spring of 2025 at the Salon des Batailles hotel Kriion. “We did not block the protesters in Russia, Belarus or Iran. And we won’t start doing this in Europe, ”Durov wrote.
