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.
