On the morning of December 6, Telegram founder Pavel Durov appeared for questioning, accompanied by his legal team. The report comes from 20 Minutes citing AFP.

The entrepreneur expressed his trust in the French judicial system but refrained from further comments. Details of the questioning remain undisclosed.

Durov was detained on August 24 at Le Bourget Airport in Paris.

Investigators have accused him of crimes linked to organized crime, including aiding in the distribution of narcotics and child pornography, as well as refusing to provide information requested by authorities.

Five days later, Durov was released on bail of €5 million under the condition that he reports to the police twice a week. He is also prohibited from leaving France.

The Telegram founder has denied all charges against him.
