New details about the arrest of Pavel Durov in France have become known.
Russia has filed a request to gain consular access to the detainee.
However, as RIA Novosti journalists learned at the French Embassy of the Russian Federation, requests for access were completely ignored by the French authorities.
As the diplomatic mission emphasized, during the businessman’s arrest, diplomats were unable to get to him.
Moreover, all requests from the department were completely ignored. That is, the representatives of the diplomatic mission did not receive either a negative or positive response to the requests made.
It is noted that such behavior by the French authorities may be related to the fact that Durov has French citizenship.
The Telegram founder has now been released on bail and is required to report to the police twice a week.
Let us recall that Pavel Durov is suspected of ten criminal offenses, in connection with which he could face imprisonment for up to 10 years.
