Re: Telegram will now hand over information to authorities
According to the news I read before, it was the French president who invited him to France and this is more like a trap than him going there with an attitude of underestimating French authority...
Can you tell the news article particularly, i didn't read the same like that. It was just mentioned the travel was personal and not business related.What I am thinking is that after he agrees to cooperate and comply with the requests of the French authorities, will he be released or will he continue to be banned from leaving France?
He was released in bail but still in France and under surveillance. Probably this new guidelines from TG is one of the requests or ruling to the CEO, maybe for him to get released.While there are many suspicions that Durov's arrest might have political motives, due to his Russian nationality but the France President tells otherwise. But who knows...
I can't find that article anymore, maybe I read it on X, but there is an article I just found that talks about the French president denying that he didn't invite Durov to France and that the French government had nothing to do with the arrest. But that's just what he said, no one knows what happened.
Many suspect the arrest was politically motivated because Durov no longer has Russian citizenship, he renounced his Russian citizenship in 2014 after falling out with the Kremlin. In addition, Telegram is also used quite a lot by the Russian and Ukrainian armies in the ongoing war between the two countries. There are many factors that suggest that this arrest is more political in nature, which is why the Russian government has harshly criticized this arrest.
