Bloomberg: France lifts travel ban on Pavel Durov

French authorities have lifted all travel restrictions on Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. This was reported by Bloomberg News, citing a source familiar with the situation.

Durov was facing a travel ban in connection with an investigation into his Telegram communications platform. The French authorities thus ended a temporary restriction on free movement that was meant to prevent the Telegram chief from leaving the country during the ongoing investigation.

Details of the reasons for the lifting of the travel ban and the further progress of the investigation are not yet known. The information has not yet been independently verified.
