Toncoin and Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been granted permission by a French court to leave France and go to Dubai, according to a report by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The sources say that a few days ago, the investigating judge approved a change in Durov’s judicial custody conditions, allowing him to leave the country “for a few weeks.” Durov has not made any public statements on the matter so far.
The TON Foundation, a major player in the decentralized blockchain community associated with Telegram, has confirmed that French authorities have returned Durov’s passport, granting him the right to leave the country freely. The announcement marks a significant development in the ongoing situation surrounding Durov.
Telegram, which has nearly 1 billion users worldwide, is known as a platform dedicated to protecting freedom of communication and privacy rights. The TON Foundation reiterated its support for Durov, emphasizing his commitment to free expression and privacy online.
“Our commitment to these core principles remains unwavering. We believe blockchain is freedom, an innovative tool that can transform the way we protect individual rights, and we are proud to be part of an ecosystem that enables individuals to communicate freely and securely,” he said.
