Pavel Durov was questioned again in Paris in a case involving crimes committed through Telegram, AFP reports.
According to the agency, the fourth interrogation of the messenger’s founder took place in a Paris court and lasted more than six hours.
Durov’s lawyers said that in the two years since the investigation began, the prosecution has still not presented evidence of his guilt. They have also filed complaints with French and European courts.
Durov was detained in August 2024 at a Paris airport after stepping off a private jet. French authorities charged him with complicity in organized fraud and drug distribution. The businessman is also accused of refusing to cooperate with the authorities.
