France is also seeking to apprehend his brother, Nikolai Durov, the co-founder of Telegram, although his whereabouts remain unknown.
Today, a new focus has emerged in response to the recent detention of Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, in France. Nikolai Durov is the sibling of Pavel Durov and the co-founder of the Telegram application.
As part of the social networking app crackdown, French authorities are also attempting to apprehend Pavel’s sibling, Nikolai. Authorities are currently holding Pavel in custody following his arrest at Paris’ Le Bourget airport.
France Seeks To Arrest Telegram Co-Founder Nikolai Durov
A recent report from Politico revealed that French authorities issued arrest warrants for both Pavel and Nikolai Durov on March 25, as revealed by a close examination of an administrative document.
Additionally, this administrative document indicated that the investigation into the networking application had commenced months prior to the arrest. This case is predominantly consistent with the networking app’s prior refusal to cooperate with the French police in an investigation into child sexual abuse.
Authorities apprehended Pavel Durov last week and are currently conducting reprisals against his brother Nikolai. Despite the fact that Nikolai’s whereabouts are still unknown, French authorities are proceeding with their investigations.
The administrative document also delineates “Telegram’s almost nonexistent cooperation” with authorities. Furthermore, there have been recent rumors about crypto coach Julia Vavilova’s involvement in the detention of the Telegram CEO.
However, the UAE’s most recent decision to suspend a substantial $10 billion agreement with France in the wake of Pavel’s arrest has reignited speculation regarding his imminent release.
Meanwhile, recent video footage on X depicts a tinted car driving out of the Parisian pre-trial detention center, which has sparked rumors regarding Pavel’s involvement in the vehicle.
French media confirmed that the CEO of Telegram appeared in court today. We anxiously anticipate additional advancements regarding the subject matter.Meanwhile, the arrest warrant against Nikolai Durov led to another decline in Toncoin (TON).
Toncoin (TON) Price Takes Heat
Today, the price of TON was $5.44, representing a 0.43% decrease in the previous 24 hours. The intraday low and high are $5.15 and $5.63, respectively. The recent network outage on the TON blockchain, which halted block processing activity, also contributed to the diminishing price movement.
After nearly six hours of stagnancy, block processing and other network-wide activities resumed, restoring the blockchain to online status.
