TON Token Surges 20% as Telegram Founder Recovers Passport From French Authorities

  • Telegram founder Pavel Durov, age 40, was detained at Le Bourget airport outside Paris in August 2024 and charged with violations related to the Telegram app, specifically for failing to curb extremist and terrorist content.
  • Telegram, a popular messaging app with over 900 million active users, founded by Durov, has been under scrutiny for allegedly enabling organized crime.
  • Durov, who holds Russian and United Arab Emirates passports and champions confidentiality on the internet, was released on a five-million-euro bail after days of questioning.
  • After initially criticizing his arrest, Durov has since announced steps appearing to bow to Paris's demands, and an investigating judge authorized him to leave France for "several weeks."
  • Durov, who admitted realizing the "seriousness of all the allegations" while in custody and is known for promoting an ascetic lifestyle, flew to Dubai, where his company is based, with the permission of authorities, prompting a debate on free speech online and warnings from the Kremlin against political persecution.
