Pavel Durov, Telegram’s billionaire founder and CEO, was arrested on August 25, 2024, at Le Bourget Airport near Paris.
French authorities detained the 39-year-old as he arrived on his private jet from Azerbaijan, acting on an arrest warrant linked to allegations concerning his popular messaging app.
Allegations and Investigation
The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into claims that Telegram has failed to adequately moderate content on its platform, allegedly allowing illegal activities to increase.
French officials accuse Durov of neglecting to address criminal activities such as drug trafficking, fraud, and the sharing of child sexual content.
Telegram, which boasts nearly a billion users worldwide, has been criticized for its large group chats of up to 200,000 members and purportedly weak moderation practices compared to other major platforms.
While the app has become a vital source of unfiltered information about conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war, it has also faced scrutiny for hosting extremist content.

Durov, who holds dual citizenship in France and the United Arab Emirates, left Russia in 2014 after refusing government demands to shut down opposition groups on his previous social media platform, VKontakte.
Since then, he has resided in Dubai, where Telegram is headquartered. The Russian Embassy in France has requested consular access to Durov and information about his detention.
Meanwhile, tech billionaire Elon Musk and other prominent figures have commented on the arrest, with some calling for Durovβs release.
This arrest has sparked a broader conversation about online privacy, content moderation, and tech platforms’ responsibilities.
As the situation unfolds, it will likely ignite further debate about the balance between privacy and security in digital communication.
The case could significantly impact Telegramβs operations and the broader landscape of messaging apps and social media platforms.
French authorities are expected to provide more details in the coming days about the charges against Durov and the ongoing investigation.
Telegram has not issued an official statement regarding its founderβs arrest. The arrest of such a high-profile figure in the tech world underscores the growing tension between governments and digital platforms over content regulation.
It raises critical questions about how tech companies can effectively manage content without infringing on users’ privacy and free expression rights.
As the world watches, the outcome of this case could set a precedent for how similar situations are handled in the future.
