In France, Telegram founder Pavel Durov was left in custody, extending his maintenance. About it reports AFP, referring to sources close to the investigation.
According to the source, the investigating judge of Paris, responsible for this judicial investigation, decided to continue the police detention of Durov on Sunday night. The detention can take a maximum of 96 hours. At the end of this term, the founder of the Telegram will either be released or arrived in front of a judge for the prosecution.
Durov is suspected of not complying with proper measures to prevent the criminal use of his messenger. In particular, it is a lack of content moderation and cooperation with the investigation. French investigators say that the founder of Telegram, despite the fact that he knew about his search in France, he still decided to come to Paris, which was a surprise for law enforcement.
