Russian-born Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested late Saturday night shortly after landing at Paris‘ Le Bourget Airport on a private jet from Azerbaijan. Reports claim that Yulia Vavilova, believed to be his girlfriend, was also arrested with him.
News agency AFP reported that since Pavel Durov’s arrest, his loved ones have not been able to contact him. This woman may also be the reason for his arrest.
The company is following EU laws
A brief statement issued by Telegram did not give any details of the arrest. Telegram said the company is following EU laws and its controls are ‘in line with industry standards and are constantly improving.’
Telegram with all of you
The company said Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and frequently travels to Europe. It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner is responsible for the abuse of that platform. We look forward to a quick resolution of this situation. Telegram is with you all.
These allegations were made
For information, let us tell you that Pavel Durov has been accused of a lack of content moderation. The French police claim that his platform is being used to carry out many illegal activities such as drug trafficking, sharing content related to sexual abuse, and money laundering.
