French authorities are forcing Pavel Durov’s older brother Nikolai (also founder of the social network VKontakte and Telegram) to come to Paris. They promise that cooperation with the investigation can speed up the resolution of the situation with the founder of the messenger, the Shot telegram channel claims.
According to him, Telegram’s vice president is also being lured to Paris Ilya Perekopsky.
In an interview with Shot, a representative of Pavel Durov’s inner circle explained what the pros and cons of cooperation with the investigation, which he agreed to the other day, could be.
“The first and most notable thing is that judicial control can be eased for Durov. This means that Pavel can check in once a week instead of twice and even travel to other EU countries,” TK writes. — The investigation into the Telegram founder’s case can last at least a year. There is only one way to speed up the process: if other defendants in the case come to the Paris investigation and give their testimony.”
We are talking about Pavel Durov’s brother and vice-president of the company, Ilya Perekopsky, TK clarifies.
“It is an open question whether they will be willing to risk their freedom to speed up the investigation against Pasha.” – adds Tiro.
The news is being updated.
