French President Macron: Telegram founder arrested due to judicial investigation, no political motive involved

According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, Russian officials reacted angrily to the arrest of Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov as he disembarked from a private plane at Paris-Bourget Airport on Saturday. The Russian Embassy in France issued a statement early Sunday morning, stating that the French authorities refused to participate in their attempts to contact Durov. "After the media reported the detention of PV Durov, we immediately requested the French authorities to clarify the reasons and ensure the protection of his rights and provide consular access. As of today, the French side has so far avoided any contact on this issue. We are in touch with PV Durov's lawyers."
