The post Telegram’s Durov Arrested, Released on €5M Bail appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Messed in a legal scoop, Telegram founder Pavel Durov in his Telegram Channel criticized his recent detention by French authorities, calling it a “misguided” approach. He argued that officials should have contacted Telegram’s EU representative instead of holding him responsible for crimes committed by third parties on the platform. Durov denied claims that Telegram is an “anarchic paradise,” highlighting the app’s moderation efforts, including removing millions of harmful posts daily. Charged in France for allegedly allowing criminal activity on the app, Durov was released on a €5M bail but must report to authorities twice weekly while the case proceeds.
