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.
