Telegram Founder and CEO Pavel Durov Arrested in France

 August 26, 2024

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov was arrested on Saturday after his private jet landed at Le Bourget Airport, France.

Durov was arrested for “various violations of his encrypted messaging service,” in reference to Telegram which is an encrypted messaging service which is purposefully secured and inaccessible to government authorities.

Durov has been in the crosshairs for years for refusing to hand over information to Russian President Vladimir Putin on anti-war protestors which caused Durov to run to the west.

Now, nearly a decade later Durov is learning the hard way that the west has become no better than totalitarian Russia as reports suggest that this arrest was demanded by the United States and Israel.

France’s OFMIN (Office to Combat Violence Against Minors) issued the warrant against Durov as part of an investigation into “offenses ranging from fraud, drug trafficking, cyberbullying, organized crime, glorification of terrorism, and fraud."

It is interesting how no offenses against minors are mentioned in this warrant considering that realm is OFMIN's main priority. The arrest of Durov is an obvious move by the globalist establishment in multiple countries to take Durov and his free speech service down.
