French Court and Durov: New Round of Confrontation
Pavel Durov has testified for the third time in Paris — the case concerns the possible involvement of Telegram in the distribution of prohibited content. French authorities believe that the platform is not effectively combating illegal content on the internet.
Durov's legal team is actively filing counterclaims:
— filed a motion to close the case,
— questioned the constitutionality of the trial,
— appealed to the EU Court to clarify what exactly is being demanded from Telegram.
Neither Durov nor his lawyers made any comments to the media after the court. Furthermore, since July 10, he has been officially allowed to travel to Dubai — no more than 14 days.
