Telegram Founder’s Legal Team Challenges French Prosecutors’ Case
Pavel Durov's defense attorneys have systematically dismantled the French prosecution's case against the Telegram founder, exposing critical procedural flaws and unsubstantiated allegations. The high-profile legal battle centers on claims of Telegram's involvement in criminal conspiracies—charges now appearing increasingly tenuous as evidentiary gaps emerge.
Christophe Ingrain, Durov's lead counsel, highlighted fundamental weaknesses in the indictment during preliminary hearings. The prosecution's reliance on circumstantial evidence and questionable investigative methods raises doubts about the viability of their 10-year sentencing pursuit. Legal observers note the case may signal broader regulatory overreach targeting crypto-adjacent platforms.
