The United Arab Emirates states that it is closely monitoring the case of Emirati citizen Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, who has been arrested in Paris. The UAE has requested the French government to provide all necessary consular services to him urgently.

It is noted that Durov holds Emirati citizenship and resides in Dubai.

What is known about the reason why he was arrested?

The French judiciary has issued a list of 12 criminal charges against Russian Telegram founder Pavel Durov.

The charges disclosed are:

  • Complicity in the distribution of child pornography.
  • Drug trafficking.
  • General fraud.
  • Incitement to commit crimes.
  • Collaboration with organizations involved in organized crime.
  • Refusal to provide information and documents to investigators.
  • Money laundering.
  • Multiple financial fraud offenses.
  • Non-compliance with international laws.
  • Terrorism

The number of charges is very high, with each charge being more severe than the previous one.

Thank you very much for the detailed list, I didn't know the case was so serious.

reply

He is in an unenviable situation

reply

There are 900 million telegram users. Pavel is responsible and liable for all of them. Sounds fair. Seems reasonable.

reply

Do you think the primary reason for his arrest is indeed these charges, or is there something else?
And if his arrest was indeed due to these charges, why wasnt he arrested earlier?

reply

These charges are bogus. He wasn’t arrested earlier because France can only arrest him in French territory

Unless Interpol is involved

The main goal is to arrest and prosecute Elon Musk and take control of twitter

Thank you, Great analysis.
It will be a year full of unexpected events, we might see new names emerge on the scene and some names disappear.

We've come far when UAE has to lecture France on the protection of human rights~~

reply

The UAE has a long history of violating human rights and disregarding them, with its influence spreading globally. What is important now is for international bodies to support Drouf. The situation is difficult fren

reply

Yeah, I was being sarcastic, UAE is not an example in terms of human rights...
