November 13th: During an investigation by the French authorities into the Telegram messaging platform, the travel ban imposed on the company's CEO, Pavel Durov, has been completely lifted. Law enforcement agencies have been looking into whether Durov colluded to enable criminal activities to occur on the app. Initially, he was ordered to remain in France. In June, Durov won a relaxation of the restrictions, allowing him to travel to Dubai with certain limitations. One year ago in August, French authorities arrested him at the Paris airport as he got off a private jet, which made global headlines. He was detained for four days for questioning and charged with conspiring to allow criminal activities on the app. He has constantly denied these accusations. At that time, he was required to pay a €5 million (USD 5.8 million) bail, was prohibited from leaving France, and was ordered to report to the authorities twice a week. (Golden Finance)
