Durov made a will and disclosed its contents

Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messenger, announced on June 18 that he had made a will in case of his disappearance due to the risks associated with his work.

"I recently made a will <...> I decided that my children would have access to my fortune no earlier than in 30 years," the entrepreneur said in an interview with Le Point magazine.

According to him, this decision was made due to the risks due to his work, as well as to protect the messenger he created.

In addition, Durov noted that his children "should be independent of a bank account" and have the opportunity to create and trust themselves.

On June 16, Durov criticized the French newspaper Le Monde for publishing 40 negative articles about the messenger in just seven weeks after his arrest. According to him, the newspaper mostly ignored the edits made and did not request comments.
