🇪🇺🇫🇷 Telegram is over?
The founder of the Telegram messenger, billionaire Pavel Durov, was arrested at the Paris airport.
"On his platform, he has allowed himself to commit countless crimes, which he does nothing to mitigate or cooperate with”
Pavel Durov will remain in custody until his trial, which will take place today or tomorrow. Durov may be charged with, among other things, money laundering and aiding terrorism.
The EU authorities' main complaint about Telegram is encrypted messages.
This was reported by the French news channel LCI.
Pavel Durov, billionaire founder and CEO of the Telegram messaging app, was arrested at the Bourget airport outside Paris on Saturday evening, TF1 TV and BFM TV said, citing unnamed sources. TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.
