The founding father of the Telegram messaging app, Pavel Durov, who had an arrest warrant issued towards him, was detained by the French authorities at an airport outdoors Paris, CNN reported. Officers from France’s anti-fraud workplace, connected to French customs, took the French-Russian billionaire into custody on Saturday night after he arrived at Bourget Airport on a flight from Azerbaijan, in keeping with CNN affiliate BFMTV. Durov, 39, was needed below a French arrest warrant because of the lack of moderation on Telegram, which allegedly led to the platform getting used for cash laundering, drug trafficking and sharing pedophilic content material. In response to BFMTV, the Telegram founder had not usually travelled to France and Europe because the arrest warrant was issued.
