Another source said that the investigating judge authorized Dorov to leave France “for several weeks.”
Telegrama spokeswoman refused to comment when Agence France -Presse contacted her, saying that the company would issue a statement at a later time.
The source familiar with the case said that the investigating judge agreed to the Durov request to amend the conditions for his observation several days ago.

He was prevented from leaving the country after the interrogation, and several charges were charged with not working to reduce extremist and terrorist content on the application, and he was released on a guarantee of five million euros.
Durov criticized his arrest at the beginning, but he announced your steps that appear to be responding to the demands of Paris.
In January, Dorov informed the investigation judges in France that he “realizes the danger of all allegations,” a source.
