Odaily news report: According to the Russian independent news agency "Important Stories", Telegram co-founder and CEO Pavel Durov entered Russia more than 50 times between 2015 and 2021. The report cites data on Durov's movements leaked from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), Russia's main intelligence agency. The data was reportedly leaked around August 20 and hidden again on August 26. Important Stories stated that it partially verified the data through conversations with investigators from the opposition leader Alexei Navalny's team. Durov did not try to hide his travels, as he took commercial flights of Russian airlines between St. Petersburg, Russia and various European cities, and also took Russian trains from Russia to Helsinki, Finland. Earlier, it was reported that Durov was arrested in France on August 24. He was accused of failing to adequately monitor illegal activities on the messaging platform, which the French authorities claimed was used for drug trafficking, fraud, and organized crime.
