The charges against Durov are linked to Telegram’s lack of content moderation and his failure to cooperate with French authorities. As a result of this development, TON Coin (Toncoin) experienced a significant dip in the value of 17% 3. Durov is set to appear in court, facing serious charges that could result in up to 20 years in prison.
