Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who is also the CEO of the encrypted messaging service, was arrested at Le Bourget Airport.
Pavel Durov had arrived straight from Azerbaijan.
Investigators from ONAF (National Anti-Fraud Office, under the Customs Directorate) informed him of the charges and placed him in police custody.
He is expected to appear before an investigating judge this evening, with a potential indictment on Sunday for numerous offenses, including terrorism, narcotics, complicity, fraud, money laundering, receiving stolen goods, and pedocriminal content.
This is a direct attack on free speech!
