Telegram chief executive Pavel Durov was placed under formal investigation by a French judge on Wednesday over alleged criminal activity on the messaging app and barred from leaving France. 

Durov is facing preliminary charges in an investigation into Dubai-based Telegram’s alleged failure to address criminality on the app, including enabling money laundering, drug trafficking, and the distribution of child sexual abuse content, Paris prosecutors said.

One of the charges against Durov alleges “complicity in the administration of an online platform to enable illicit transactions” as part of an organized crime group, the prosecutors added.
