French media (TF1) report that Pavel Durov was detained at Paris' Le Bourget airport as he was leaving his private jet.

Before that, he was in Baku, where he was allegedly introduced to Putin.

That's odd, France is well-known for freedom.

The arrest was reportedly made as part of a preliminary investigation into a French arrest warrant.

According to media reports, Durov was on the French wanted list and arrived in France from Azerbaijan. Durov has French citizenship.

looks like they want to pin it on him that some people are able to sell drugs through TG. Not saying they can't, but how the fuck the owner is the mastermind lol

The warrant was issued because Durov did not cooperate with French security forces, which makes him an accomplice to drug trafficking and other serious crimes - TF1

Investigators placed Durov in custody - TF1

Pavel Durov is due to appear before a judge this Saturday evening, he will be charged with multiple crimes

Possible charges include terrorism, drugs, complicity, fraud, money laundering, concealment, pedophile content, TF1 reports.

The EU authorities' main complaint about Telegram is encrypted messages, TF1 writes.

"Over the years, it has become the number 1 platform for organized crime," the investigator said.

make no mistake, the real reason is that TG allows people to see Russia/Ukraine situation differently from what the western MSM portrays

TG is used to facilitate a lot of illegal activity. I'm guessing the feds tried to get this guy to cooperate with them to go after the people using the service and he refused to do so.

anything can be used to facilitate illegal activity. Feds are after him because there are a ton of pro-Russian channels posting content that Feds don't want you to see.

You do know the feds go after people for pedophilia, human trafficking, and drugs, right?

But he's a fucktard getting citizenship of a Russia-hating (I'm talking about the deep-state installed puppet Macron and media control, not all the people) NATO country in the first place

This interview with Tucker happened when, a month ago? It is pretty clear that it's not about kiddy diddling and drug trafficking.

Wild @Wild not sure if this on the life hack thread, might be worth adding if not. A lot of people aren't aware of it, took me a couple days to figure out.

That shirtless pic alone should warrant sending his ass straight to the Hague. I had some explaining to do to my wife when she walked in.
