Founder of the messaging app Telegram<\/a>, Pavel Durov<\/a>, has flown to Dubai from France with permission from a French court, according to a report<\/a> by Barron's.<\/p>\n

“He departed France this morning,” an unnamed source familiar with the case told AFP.<\/p>\n

A second source told AFP that an investigating judge granted Durov\u2019s request to leave France for \u201cseveral weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durov\u2019s legal trouble began last year<\/h2>\n

Durov was abruptly arrested<\/a> by French authorities at the Le Bourget airport in Paris on Aug. 24. Following his arrest, Durov was slapped with a litany of charges<\/a> on Aug. 26, including complicity in child exploitation, drug trafficking, and other organized criminal activities.<\/p>\n

The French authorities alleged that through its lack of content moderation, Telegram, and thereby Durov, facilitated illicit activities, including distribution of child pornography and drug trafficking. The authorities claimed that Durov could face up to 10 years in prison along with a fine of \u20ac500,000 ($550,000).<\/p>\n

Durov\u2019s arrest was condemned<\/a> by the Telegram community in an open letter<\/a>, calling it \u201ca blatant attack on the freedom of expression and the right to private life.\u201d Whistleblower Edward Snowden<\/a> and tech billionaire Elon Musk<\/a> also decried Durov\u2019s arrest as an attack on free speech.<\/p>\n

Modification of bail conditions received approval<\/h2>\n

On Aug. 28, Durov was released from police custody and placed under judicial supervision after he posted a \u20ac5 million ($6 million) bail. Durov\u2019s release was contingent on a number of conditions, one of which required him to remain in France.<\/p>\n

However, according to the Barron\u2019s report, the investigating judge accepted Durov\u2019s request to modify the conditions of his bail on March 13, allowing him to leave the country.<\/p>\n

While the exact terms of the court\u2019s decision remain unclear, Durov\u2019s departure to Dubai\u2014a city known for its lack of extradition agreements with several countries\u2014has raised concerns about jurisdiction and privacy.<\/p>\n

Durov is not only a French citizen, but also holds citizenship in Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).<\/p>\n

A few weeks after his release, Durov wrote in a Telegram post:<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things are looking up for Russian programmers<\/h2>\n

The news of Durov\u2019s departure to Dubai is yet to be officially confirmed by Telegram or Durov himself. However, if confirmed, Durov would be the second Russian programmer to be released.<\/p>\n

Just last month, Alexander Vinnik, operator of the now-defunct crypto exchange BTC-e, was released by the U.S. and sent to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange program. The prisoner swap program was one of the efforts to mend political and diplomatic ties between the two countries.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting, however, that Telegram was banned in Russia in 2018 after the app refused to hand over encryption keys required to read users\u2019 communications.<\/p>\n

TON Foundation welcomes the news of Durov\u2019s travel<\/h2>\n

The crypto market has reacted positively to the news of Durov\u2019s travel to Dubai. The price of The Open Network (TON<\/a>) is up 20% over the past 24 hours, according to CryptoSlate data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The TON Foundation has also welcomed the news, calling it a \u201csignificant moment of resolution\u201d in a statement<\/a> released on X. The statement noted:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the decentralized TON community, we have stood in solidarity with Pavel, supporting his unwavering dedication to defending the right to free speech and privacy online.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
