Telegram founder is currently facing twelve criminal charges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to a filing, twelve criminal allegations are included in the judicial investigation of Pavel Durov, Telegram founder. The Parisian cybercrime unit, JUNALCO, initiated this inquiry on July 8, 2024, following a preliminary investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durov is accused of facilitating transactions for organized crime through his oversight of the platform, as well as complicity in enabling unlawful activities on Telegram. Additionally, the allegations implicate him in obstructing justice by refusing to provide law enforcement agencies with critical information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durov, the Telegram founder, is facing severe allegations regarding child pornography. These charges encompass complicity in the possession and distribution of illegal content involving juveniles, which is a primary focus of the judicial investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Durov is accused of participating in the trafficking of narcotics. The investigation suggests that Telegram was employed as a platform for selling, distributing, and offering illicit substances. Amid these developments, a magistrate has expedited the detention of the Telegram founder by 96 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India's Ongoing Investigation and Apple Rumors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rumors began to propagate that Apple might remove Telegram from its App Store, particularly in India, where the platform has a significant user base, following Pavel Durov's arrest. Nevertheless, Apple has refuted these speculations, stating that it has no intention of removing Telegram from the App Store. The speculation appears to be a resurgence of previous falsehoods that have already been refuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the Indian government is presently investigating the platform for its purported involvement in criminal activities, such as gambling and extortion. A government official indicated that Telegram may be subject to a prohibition in the country based on the results of this investigation. This further complicates the platform's ongoing legal and regulatory disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Pavel Durov, Telegram founder, is accused of employing unauthorized cryptography tools. According to the investigation, Durov is accused of providing cryptographic services without the requisite certification, as mandated by French law. This encompasses the provision and importation of cryptology instruments that were not properly declared to the appropriate authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the investigation alleges that the Telegram platform was employed to launder proceeds from criminal activities, and Durov is currently facing money laundering charges. Nevertheless, Pavel Durov's release has been supported by prominent leaders such as TRON founder Justin Sun and Elon Musk, despite these accusations, according to a CoinGape report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toncoin's value plummets by more than 7%<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Toncoin's price has experienced a substantial decline, with a 30% decrease in the past week and an 8% decrease in the past 24 hours, following the announcements of the Telegram CEO's arrest and issues. The Toncoin price was trading at $5.38 at the time of publication, representing an 8.60% decrease from the intra-day high of $5.94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This decline was accompanied by a decrease in market capitalization and 24-hour trading volume by 8.60% and 66.48%, respectively, to $13,683,419,408 and $928,061,008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoinGape's technical analysis of the TON price indicates a potential retest of the $4.47 support if the proceedings result in a negative outcome amidst this decline. Nevertheless, the price of Toncoin may recoup its recent gains and ascend to the high of $7.26 in August if he is released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
