Forbes has also learned that Durov is being investigated by French authorities for alleged violence against one of his own children.

Telegram’s lax moderation, particularly around images of child sexual abuse material , and lack of serious response to European law enforcement contributed to Durov’s prosecution, French authorities said. “The almost total lack of response from Telegram to judicial requisitions was brought to the attention of the cybercrime fighting section,” Laure Beccuau, the Paris prosecutor, wrote in a French-language. “When consulted, other French investigative services and public prosecutors as well as various partners within Eurojust, particularly Belgian ones, shared the same observation.” Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn did not immediately respond to a comment request.
