Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, has been placed under formal investigation in France and is barred from leaving the country. He was arrested at Le Bourget airport near Paris on Saturday and released from police custody on Wednesday, but he must remain in France pending further investigation. Durov faces allegations related to facilitating organized crime, drug trafficking, and the distribution of child sexual abuse material on Telegram. He is required to report to a police station twice weekly and has been prohibited from leaving France.

This market will resolve according to parameters outlined in the identical polymarket.

Any further clarifications (that change the description) will be made by me using the comments below and polymarket description changes. I won’t trade in this market.

Currently, the resolution source will be a “consensus of credible reporting” (as it is here).

This market will resolve to "Yes" if it is confirmed that Pavel Durov has left France for any length of time between August 27, 2024, and December 31, 2024, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

In cases where Durov may have exited French airspace on a plane, he must be confirmed to have exited the plane in a country other than France for this market to resolve to "Yes".

If Durov exits French maritime territory on a boat to international waters, this market may resolve to "Yes".

If it is not confirmed by the resolution date that Durov left France, this market will resolve to "No."

The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
