News - The Kremlin does not consider it right to comment on Telegram founder’s arrest

The Kremlin does not consider it correct to comment on the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, as it is not yet known what he is accused of, said Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, reports RIA Novosti. "We still don't know what exactly Durov is being accused of, we haven't heard any official statement about it yet. And before saying anything, we should wait for the explanation of the situation, what is attributed to Durov. Without it, it probably wouldn't be right to make any statement. Let's wait and see when the accusation will be made—if it will be made, if it comes to that. After that, it will be possible to draw some preliminary conclusions," said Peskov, responding to the reporters' questions. On Saturday evening, the French media reported that Telegram founder Pavel Durov was detained at Paris-Le Bourget Airport while getting off a private plane that came from Azerbaijan. According to the French press, Durov, who is a French citizen, is on the list of wanted persons in France.
