Shocking Arrest: Pavel Durov, Telegram Founder, Arrested Amid Criminal Charges Tied to Russia

Pavel Durov, Telegram's 39-year-old founder and CEO, was reportedly arrested at Bourget airport near Paris.

The arrest is allegedly linked to Telegram's lack of content moderation.

Launched in 2013, Telegram has faced global scrutiny due to its emphasis on privacy and free speech, and its use by extremist groups.

Despite pressure from the EU and U.S. for stricter moderation, Durov maintained his stance against censorship.

Official statements on the arrest are pending.

Putin's Agent Caught Planting Bomb in Ukrainian Apartment — SBU Foils Deadly Terror Plot in Rivne [Video]

Putin's Agent Caught Planting Bomb in Ukrainian Apartment — SBU Foils Deadly Terror Plot in Rivne

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has intercepted a Russian agent caught red-handed planting a bomb in a civilian apartment in Rivne, Western Ukraine. The suspect, a 27-year-old man from Lviv, was allegedly recruited via Telegram by Russian intelligence with promises of “easy money.” The device was intended to be detonated remotely in a densely populated city center, aiming to inflict maximum civilian casualties and spread fear. The suspect now faces terrorism-related charges, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives. Authorities say this plot is part of a wider Russian campaign targeting civilians far from the frontlines, often exploiting vulnerable individuals with criminal or addiction histories. This is yet another stark reminder that Putin’s war is not limited to the battlefield. #Ukraine #Russia #SBU #Rivne #TerrorPlot #RussianAgent #TelegramRecruitment #Putin #UkraineWar #SecurityNews #BreakingNews #CivilianTargeting #HybridWarfare #EasternEurope #WaronCivilians Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~
