This Wednesday, the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office, through a press release, reported that the period of detention of the co-founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, arrested in France, has expired.

According to information reported by BFMTV, the investigating judge put an end to the businessman's police arrest with a view to questioning at a first appearance and a possible accusation.

He also revealed that Durov is charged with 12 crimes, including complicity in possession of a pornographic image of a minor, drug transfer, criminal conspiracy, money laundering and refusal to provide, at the request of authorized authorities, information or documents.

Florian Philippot, leader of the French nationalist Patriotas party, explained through social networks that Macron “had Pavel Durov imprisoned (...) because he knows a lot of things. A bit like (Nicolas) Sarkozy had Libya bombed and killed (Muamar) Gaddafi, who knew a lot of things.”
