German police state Chinese men leveraged Telegram to share videos of sexual assault and details for drugging victims.
The platform enabled private groups to trade illegal content.
The investigation resulted in the apprehension of a Chinese doctor charged of managing a “driving school” that abused women for rape.
Authorities say the doctor managed the operation through Telegram chat rooms.
A additional report shows that Telegram groups have been used by offenders to spread similar material across Germany.
The case highlights law‑enforcement focus on encrypted messaging apps.
