This information is transmitted by BFMTV.

The investigating judge ordered his detention in police custody for the purpose of initial questioning and possible charges.

Pavlo Durov reported pressure from the Russian special services since 2013. At that time, the FSB demanded that VKontakte groups be blocked and that users’ personal data be handed over. After publicly refusing, Pavlo left Russia forever.

At the same time, today it became known that Durov was in Russia 50 times from 2015 to 2021. According to Russian media, the creator of Telegram was in the country during important events for the messenger. At the same time, the owner of Telegram publicly said that he avoided traveling to the United States, Russia and China.

Let us recall that several days ago he was detained in France, which also accuses him of refusing to cooperate with the special services.
