France launched a probe into Telegram because the platform ignored demands to identify cybercriminals, Laure Beccuau claims<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case against the CEO of Telegram messaging app, Pavel Durov, is \u201cexemplary\u201d<\/em> with regard to the battle against cybercrime waged by the French authorities, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau has said.<\/p>\n

Durov was arrested after landing in Paris in late August and charged with multiple offenses ranging from refusal to cooperate with the authorities to administering an online platform allegedly used by organized crime for illegal conduct, such as trafficking and child sexual abuse. The Russian tech entrepreneur, who also has French, UAE, and Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship, was later released on \u20ac5 million ($5.55 million) bail. The 39-year-old billionaire is banned from leaving the country while the case is ongoing.<\/p>\n

Asked about the investigation into Durov and Telegram in an interview with RTL Radio on Wednesday, Beccuau said, \u201cthis case is exemplary in terms of the actions taken by the cybercrime unit of the Paris Prosecutor\u2019s Office.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

She added that her agency previously had issues with the Coco chat website and Sky ECC encrypted messenger, which were both shut down.<\/p>\n

Telegram is no \u2018anarchic paradise\u2019 \u2013 Durov<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOrganized crime is spreading in a world that we consider to be virtual,\u201d<\/em> the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n

According to the Beccuau, France is reacting to this by amending its legislation and introducing a new criminal offense for administering an online platform that allows illegal transactions \u2013 one of the charges Durov faces.<\/p>\n

Telegram attracted the attention of the Paris Prosecutor\u2019s Office because its cybercrime unit \u201ccontacted the platform several times asking it to identify cybercriminals, especially in the area of child pornography. But the platform did not respond to these requests. It did not react,\u201d<\/em> she explained.<\/p>\n

Beccuau noted that Durov is fulfilling the terms of his bail, which require him to report to the police twice a week.<\/p>\n

Last week, Durov issued a lengthy statement on Telegram, insisting that the claims by some media outlets that his platform \u201cis some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Telegram takes down \u201cmillions of harmful posts and channels every day,\u201d<\/em> and publishes \u201cdaily transparency reports\u201d<\/em> about actions taken against the dissemination of illegal content, including child abuse and terrorism, he said.<\/p>\n

Durov claimed that he has cooperated with French law enforcement in the past and \u201cpersonally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.\u201d<\/em> He added that the platform remains open to working with state regulators to establish \u201cthe right balance between privacy and security.\u201d<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
