Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram and associated with Toncoin (TON), was reportedly arrested in Paris on Saturday. The arrest was revealed by former kickboxer Andrew Tate, who claimed that Durov was detained for "failing to censor the truth on his application". However, officials have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the charges.

The arrest took place at Paris Le Bourget Airport as Durov disembarked from his private jet. This incident has caused significant uncertainty among Toncoin investors, leading to a sharp decline in the cryptocurrency's value.
