New details have become known about the high-profile case related to the arrest of Pavel Durov in France.
It turned out that the businessman’s brother is also wanted in the country.
This was reported by the newspaper Politico , which reviewed the document provided by the French authorities.
It turned out that the arrest warrant had been issued back in March.
According to preliminary information, the reason for this step is Telegram's refusal to cooperate with the French authorities in the investigation of a case related to sexual abuse of children.
According to Politico, the criminal prosecution was launched after Telegram failed to respond to an official request from France. The request concerned the identification of a specific user of the messenger.
As stated in the document, this case is not isolated. According to the French authorities, this is not the first time the messenger administration has behaved this way.
In connection with this, last Saturday Pavel Durov was detained at the French airport Le Bourget, which caused a wide resonance throughout the world.
