After authorities issued a statement on Monday, the causes of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s<\/strong> detention by French authorities became increasingly evident.<\/p>\n

According to a statement<\/a> issued by the Tribunal Judiciaire de Paris, Durov<\/strong> has been arrested as part of a broad cybercrime investigation, including claims of offering “cryptology” services and tools.<\/p>\n

“Pavel Durov<\/strong>, founder and CEO of instant messaging and platform Telegram, was arrested at Le Bourget airport in the outskirts of Paris on Saturday, August 24, 2024, and then taken into police custody at 8 p.m.,”<\/em> the statement said. “This measure comes in the context of a judicial investigation opened on July 8, 2024, following a preliminary inquiry initiated by Section J3-JJUNALCO (Fight against Cybercrime) of the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The declaration continued, “A judicial investigation was opened against a person unnamed on charges of… providing cryptology services aiming to ensure confidentiality without a certified declaration, providing a cryptology tool not solely ensuring authentication or integrity monitoring without a prior declaration, and\u00a0 importing a cryptology tool ensuring authentication or integrity monitoring without a prior declaration.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Included among several other claimed allegations were complicity in “possessing pornographic images of minors”<\/em> and “laundering of the proceeds derived from organized groups’s offenses and crimes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The executive can be held until August 28, according to the release; Durov<\/strong> is under interrogation as part of the cybercrime probe.<\/p>\n

Among the few influential people in the crypto space who have endorsed Durov<\/strong> are Elon Musk, Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin (whose view is based on knowledge so far), TRON founder Justin Sun, and Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko.<\/p>\n
