Telegram’s Pavel Durov approved to leave France temporarily
The Telegram founder will once again be allowed to travel to Dubai for a short period before returning to France, where his case is ongoing.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov gained court approval to leave France for up to 14 days to travel to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where the company is headquartered.
Durov will be allowed to leave France on July 10 after having a travel request denied by French officials in May, according to French news outlet Le Monde.
The executive had requested permission to travel to Oslo, Norway, to deliver a keynote address at the Human Rights Foundation’s Oslo Freedom Forum, which was presented remotely after French officials rejected his travel application.
