Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, allegedly collaborated with French intelligence services. According to Liberation, Durov was not only willing to interact with French law enforcement officials, but also actively supported their activities.
During the arrest, Durov appeared calm and confident, as if he had expected such a development in advance.
Without hesitation, he handed over his mobile phone with the access code and said that he had already established an official communication channel with French counterintelligence. According to him, this cooperation was aimed at combating terrorism and thanks to joint efforts several terrorist attacks were prevented.
