Detention and first interrogations of Durov: Media reveal details.


Detention of Pavel Durov: what happened?
French publication Libération revealed details of the detention and first interrogations of Telegram founder Pavel Durov.
According to a source close to the investigation, during the detention Durov was ready to cooperate and even provided his phone and access code.
According to the publication, he was not concerned during the detention, which probably indicates his readiness for it.
During the interrogation, Durov reported that he opened an official communication channel with the French General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) to combat terrorism, and the exchange of information through this channel prevented several terrorist attacks.
He also stated that DGSI agents visited him in Dubai, but refused to disclose the nature of their visit.
Durov previously reported that the overwhelming majority of programmers in his company are specialists from Ukraine.
Recall that Durov was released from custody on bail of 5 million euros.
The charges concern his involvement in an online platform that allows users to conduct illegal transactions and trade drugs.
Additionally, Durov is accused of money laundering and refusing to cooperate with judicial authorities.
The European Union Center has launched an investigation into the violation of the EU Digital Services Act by Telegram.
