A summons addressed to Suspect P.V. Durov was reportedly delivered to an apartment he had lived in over 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>He responded at the time that he was targeted for defending constitutional protections for free speech and private correspondence. His whereabouts remain unknown, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s charges come approximately two years after Durov was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/why-was-pavel-durov-arrested-details-emerge\/\">gearresteerd<\/a> in France as part of an investigation into whether Telegram had failed to adequately prevent criminal activity and cooperate with law-enforcement requests.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations at the time included complicity in organized fraud, money laundering, narcotics sales, the distribution of child sexual abuse material, and making hacking and cryptography tools available without the required declarations. Durov, who now holds French and Emirati citizenships, denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>De post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/russia-issues-arrest-warrant-for-telegram-founder-pavel-durov-report\/\">Russia Issues Arrest Warrant for Telegram Founder Pavel Durov: Report<\/a> verscheen eerst op <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to several reports, Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service has charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with facilitating terrorist activity and issued an international warrant for his arrest.
