Telegram founder Pavel Durov said the company had always met and
“exceeded” its legal obligations in moderation, cooperation and
fighting crime.
On March 17, the Telegram founder posted an update on the messaging
application, saying he was already back in Dubai after spending
months in France. Durov said the process is still ongoing but added
that it “feels great to be home.”
The post follows reports that the Telegram founder was allowed
to leave France and return home. On March 15, a report citing
anonymous sources said the executive had departed from France after
getting approval from a French court to leave the
country.
Durov was arrested in
Paris on Aug. 24 as part of an investigation into the instant
messaging app. The executive was accused of running a platform that
allowed illegal activities.

“I want to thank the investigative judges for letting
this happen, as well as my lawyers and team for their relentless
efforts in demonstrating that, when it comes to moderation,
cooperation, and fighting crime, for years, Telegram not only met
but exceeded its legal obligations.”

was grateful for the community’s support throughout the ordeal.
