According to French media reports, Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of the social media software "Telegram", was arrested at an airport near Paris, France on the evening of August 24th local time.

Leonid Ivlev, a member of the Russian State Duma, said on the 25th:Durov's arrest is related to the desire of Western intelligence agencies to obtain the "Telegram" key and encryption method, the purpose of which is to decrypt encrypted communications, including military communications, which is particularly important to NATO。

Ivlev said that the social media "Telegram" was actively used for Russian special military operations and communications of senior officials. Now, French intelligence services will obtain Durov's keys and passwords from the social media "Telegram" so that NATO can access encrypted communications, including military communications.

Maria Butina, a member of the Russian State Duma, also believes thatWestern countries arrested Durov in order to control the social media "Telegram", and Durov became a victim of Western political persecution。

Maria Butina, a member of the Russian State Duma:Musk is free, Zuckerberg is free, but Durov is in jail, why? Because he is Russian, his nationality is Russian, he is a Russian citizen.
