France: Pavel Durov, the chairman and chief of Telegram, who was arrested in France on charges of failing to suppress unlawful information on the app, is also being investigated on suspicion of” severe acts of violence” against one of his children, a source close to the situation said Wednesday.
The sensor, opened just by the European child welfare business, concerns Durov’s child, born in 2017, who is living in Switzerland with his family.
The reported murder happened in Paris, the supply said.
According to the cause, the mother of the boy claimed that her ex-partner had committed violent crimes against their child in a legal complaint filed in Switzerland next month.
Durov’s ex-partner disclosed to AFP that she has three kids with the Telegram boss, two kids and a child.
The beginning of the Flemish investigation aims to prevent duplication of the investigation, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office, by allowing coordination with European authorities to check whether the same case is being investigated it.
According to the complaint filed with judicial officials in the European province of Geneva, Durov, 39, and the family, 44, were not married but have three children, who were born in 2013, 2016 and 2017.
According to the problem, Durov allegedly abused their youngest brother five occasions between 2021 and 2022 in Switzerland and abroad.
As the result of the alleged assault, the baby suffered from “anxiety, bed-wetting and regular sleep issues”, according to court papers seen by AFP.
The court situation alleges that in November 2021, in Paris, Durov slapped the baby on the backside, then grabbed him and, lifting him off the ground, shook him firmly.
The European criminal complaint does not name Durov, the mother, or their children, but several details mention the children’s delivery years, the United Arab Emirates, where Durov resided, and the case number from a separate legal case.
The family told AFP on Wednesday evening that she was not permitted to post on the legal situation.
However, she added that her youngest child, as a source recently stated, never attended university in France.
” He just visited Paris as a tourist”, she said.
The family’s Geneva-based prosecutor, Karim Charaf, said she “did the required in order to protect the interests of her kids in Switzerland”.
Charaf told AFP,” We have no comments or details about the process in France.”
Contacted by AFP, Durov’s attorney declined to comment.
Russian-born Durov was arrested at Le Bourget aircraft outside Paris soon Saturday.
Durov was charged by the European court on Wednesday night with a plethora of violations involving the messaging app, but he was given the option to go complimentary while being prevented from leaving the nation.
According to the Russian version of Forbes, Durov has five kids from two people, including three from this partnership. He also took part in a eggs payment program, which he claims has produced more than 100 children.
