Russia Warns France Against Political Moves in Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Case

The Russian government has warned France that pursuing criminal charges against Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, could be considered “political persecution.” Durov, a Russian-born French citizen, was detained in Paris for allegedly failing to control illegal content on the messaging platform. He was released on bail but must stay in France and report regularly to the police.
Russia Issues Warning to France Over Telegram Founder’s Arrest
The Russian government has issued a stark warning to France, urging it to avoid turning the legal case against Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, into a matter of “political persecution.”
Amid its ongoing crackdown on political dissent, Russia has characterized Durov’s unexpected detention in Paris as potentially politically driven. Durov, who holds both Russian and French citizenship, faces charges from French authorities for not properly managing extremist content on Telegram. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stressed:
The main thing is for what is happening in France not to run into political persecution.
Durov was apprehended last weekend at Le Bourget airport in Paris and was held for four days before being released on a €5 million ($5.53 million) bail. He must stay in France and report to a police station twice weekly. Russian officials have voiced their support for Durov, citing his Russian citizenship and their readiness to assist him.
Peskov added:
Of course, we consider him a Russian citizen and as much as possible we will be ready to provide assistance … We will be watching what happens next.
Additionally, there are reports that Durov had been scheduled to dine with French President Emmanuel Macron around the time of his arrest, adding to the speculation surrounding the charges. Durov’s lawyers argue that the accusations lack merit and are politically motivated, noting that previous discussions with Macron included the possibility of moving Telegram’s headquarters to Paris.

Telegram and Durov were and remain under the control of FSB and GRU. Durov’s arrest looks like it is the Russian move, with the aim to limit CIA recruitment on Telegram in exchange of them limiting or stopping terrorist acts (mass killings, etc.) in US and globally. Putin tries to make up with the West and to pacify it. By meeting with Beslan mothers recently, Putin likely signalled that his 20 years old revenge campaign is completed. Shall we expect the reduction in the number of mass killings?
The second part of this operation may possibly be the October Surprise 2024: the massive release of the damaging (for Democrats?) information under the guise and pretext of the Telegram’s decryption or change of rules. It could be something similar to release of Hillary Clinton’s emails in 2016, with the similar games played by Netanyahu and his Mossad.

News Review
Hi, children! I am Panoptes, your FBI-KGB monster. I have one hundred beautiful blue eyes but they are totally blind, I can’t see anything. I also have very little brain, which is not capable to understand much.
That is why I am not able to catch the real criminals, just some small, half-rotten fish. I just set up my little traps, in hope to catch someone stupider than I am, and surprise – surprise, I get plenty.
I want you to work for me and become my eyes, ears, hands, and brain. I will come to you at night and will whisper my stuff into your ears, and we will sign our cooperation agreement. Then I will dissolve in your dreams, but you will stay and work for me. You will become my informants, and I will pay you well. Information is power!
October Surprise 2024 may be pro-Trump and negative for the US Democrats. It might relate to Durov’s arrest, subsequent elective decryption, and the release of the damaging information on Trump’s opponents, a la the TelegramGate in Puerto Rico in 2019.
