According to PANews, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been detained in Paris for four days on suspicion of allowing criminals to operate freely on its platform. According to French law, Durov's detention shall not exceed 8 pm local time (2:00 am Beijing time on August 29, a total of 96 hours). At that time, Durov will be brought to the Paris court, where the investigating judge will decide whether to charge him or release him as a key witness in the investigation. If charged, another judge will decide whether to impose restrictions on his actions or require him to pay bail. French authorities are investigating allegations that he refused to assist in lawful wiretapping, allowed the dissemination of child sexual abuse materials, and facilitated drug trafficking. Telegram has issued a statement saying that Durov "has nothing to hide" and emphasized that the platform complies with European law.
