Telegram's founder and CEO Pavel Durov said on Monday that he had returned to Dubai from France, as French authorities continue to investigate criminal activity on the popular messaging app.
Russian-born Durov, who is an Emirati citizen, was arrested at an airport near Paris in August. He was handed preliminary charges in connection to crimes committed on the app, including drug trafficking, money laundering and the distribution of sexually explicit images of children. Durov has denied the charges.
