French authorities will issue a statement on Durov's arrest today
PANews August 26 news, according to Cointelegraph, French authorities plan to issue a statement on the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov this Monday. According to French media reports, Durov may face charges related to Telegram operations and the lack of review of the platform. According to The Washington Post, after Durov was arrested, the Russian Embassy contacted the French authorities and asked to meet with Durov and clarify the details of his detention. Some Russian officials called the arrest an indirect hostile act against Russia. It was previously reported that Durov has dual French and Russian citizenship, and there are also reports that he has dual French and UAE citizenship. At the same time, Telegram issued an official statement on social media, saying that Telegram complies with EU laws, including the Digital Services Act. Durov has nothing to hide and he travels frequently in Europe. It is ridiculous to claim that a platform or its owner is responsible for the abuse of the platform. The team is waiting for a quick resolution of the incident.
