Durov said that he “trusts the French justice” system but refused to elaborate on the legal proceedings.
Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, was reportedly questioned in a Paris court for the first time regarding a legal case involving allegations of the messenger app facilitating criminal activity.
Durov appeared in a Parisian court at 10 am CET on Dec. 6, alongside his lawyers David-Olivier Kaminski and Christophe Ingrain.
An anonymous source familiar with the matter told the Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the questioning focused on the allegations tied to Telegram’s potential use for illicit transactions.
