Allegations of physical abuse towards his child have been levied against the head of Telegram.
The kid currently resides with his mom in Switzerland, as per records. She submitted a complaint there in 2023, pointing an accusatory finger at her ex for inflicting violence upon one of their offspring.
Durow hails originally from Russia and boasts citizenships from various countries, including France. Last Saturday night, he was apprehended at Le Bourget Airport in Paris. French law enforcement alleges that he failed to take sufficient measures to inhibit Telegram's utilization for unlawful deeds.
The forum, established in 2013 as a substitute for American services, typically shuns surrendering user information to authorities, even in instances of criminal activities.
Durow's arrest at Le Bourget Airport raised concerns within the Telegram community. As the Head of Telegram, Durow is directly involved in the platform's policies and operations.
