Toncoin TON in Spotlight as Telegram CEO Durov Fights ’Absurd’ French Arrest
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has publicly condemned his August 2024 arrest by French authorities as "legally and logically absurd." In a series of X posts, Durov argued that holding a platform's CEO accountable for user actions violates both French and EU regulations. The arrest at Le Bourget airport involved charges spanning from money laundering to distribution of illicit content.
French investigators have yet to present concrete evidence against Durov or Telegram after a full year of investigation. The case has captured significant attention from the crypto community, particularly due to Telegram's deep integration with The Open Network (TON). Toncoin, TON's native token, remains a focal point of market speculation amid the ongoing legal controversy.
