Pavel Durov Detained in France, Russia Gives Stern Warning!

Bittime - Recently, Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was involved in a legal case in France that raised tensions between Russia and France. The Russian government also issued a strong warning to French.

Pavel Durov Detention 

Pavel Durov was detained at Le Bourget airport, Paris, last week. This detention was based on allegations that Durov failed to control illegal content on the Telegram platform. 

After 4 days in custody, Durov was released on bail of €5 million (approximately $5.53 million), but on the condition that he remain in France and report 2 times a week to the local police.

Russia Warns French 

The Russian government expressed its full support for Durov and is ready to provide any assistance necessary to protect its citizens. 

The Russian government is very concerned that Durov's detention in French could be part of political persecution. In recent years, Russia has faced international criticism for its crackdown on political opposition and free speech. 

According to Russia, the Durov case could be used as an excuse by France to suppress parties who are not in line with certain political policies. The Russian government will continue to monitor this situation to ensure that Durov does not become a victim of political games.

Pavel Durov and President of France 

Adding to the complexity of the case, news emerged that Durov was scheduled to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron shortly before his detention. This sparked speculation that Durov's detention may have been politically motivated. 

Durov's lawyers argued that the allegations against their client were baseless and more political than criminal. 

Previously, Durov was also known to have discussed with Macron the possibility of moving Telegram's headquarters to Paris, which further strengthens the suspicion that there are political factors in this case.
