👤 Telegram boss Pavel Durov was arrested! On Saturday evening, the 39-year-old Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested at Le Bourget Airport in France. The French-Russian was detained as soon as he got off the private plane, accompanied by a bodyguard and a woman.
🔎 According to reports, the French National Judicial Police (OFMIN) issued a search warrant accusing Telegram of facilitating illegal activities such as drug trafficking, child abuse and fraud due to its lack of content review, use of disposable numbers and cryptocurrencies. Durov was accused of refusing to cooperate with law enforcement and inaction on illegal content on the platform.
🏛 Durov may face multiple charges including terrorism, drug trafficking, conspiracy, fraud, money laundering and participation in child abuse. Given his resources and flight risk, French authorities will almost certainly detain him pretrial.
