The situation surrounding Pavel Durov, who was detained in France, remains unknown.

Representatives of the Russian embassy in Paris have still not reached the prisoner.

The diplomatic mission shared this information with RIA Novosti .

Earlier, representatives of the Russian embassy in France made an official request for consular access to the detained founder of the Telegram messenger.

However, the French authorities ignore this request, since they consider Durov a citizen of the country.

The founder of Telegram has multiple citizenships. He holds passports from Russia, France, the UAE, and the countries of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Let us recall that Pavel Durov was detained upon arrival at Le Bourget Airport. According to preliminary information, the businessman will be a defendant in 12 crimes, most of which are related to cybersecurity.

One of the reasons for the arrest may be Telegram's refusal to cooperate with French police in investigating one of the cases related to sexual abuse of children.
