Title: France Barred Telegram Founder Pavel Durov From Traveling To US

Link: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/05/20/14522...

French authorities have denied Telegram founder Pavel Durov's request to
travel to the U.S. for "negotiations with investment funds." From a report:
The Paris prosecutor's office told POLITICO that it rendered its decision on
May 12 "on the grounds that such a trip abroad did not appear imperative or
justified." Durov was arrested in August 2024 at a French airport and has
been under strict legal control since last September, when he was indicted on
six charges related to illicit activity on the messaging app he operates. He
is forbidden to leave France without authorization -- which he obtained to
travel to Dubai from March 15 to April 7, the prosecutor's office said.
Russian-born Durov is a citizen, among other countries, of France and the
United Arab Emirates.
