Famous KOLMario Nawfal said in a post on X that Telegram founder Pavel Durov is scheduled to appear before a judge on Saturday night local time to face multiple charges related to terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering and child abuse. French media reported that Durov, who holds dual French and Russian citizenship, could face up to 20 years in prison. He was arrested for Telegram's lack of content moderation and his failure to co-operate with French law enforcement on charges stemming from a search warrant issued by the National Judicial Police.
