After his arrest, Durov explained to French police how to correctly send requests to Telegram

The founder of the popular messenger Telegram, Pavel Durov, has denied the information that his detention in France last year forced the service to begin to comply with EU rules and hand over users’ IP addresses to law enforcement. Earlier, such information appeared in the media, to which Durov responded in his Telegram channel.

Durov said his company had always complied with EU laws, but after his arrest in France, the country’s police began to formulate their requests to Telegram in accordance with the EU’s Digital Services Act. As a result, French courts received IP addresses from the service of people suspected of committing various crimes.

Let us recall that the founder of Telegram was detained at Le Bourget Airport in August last year. After that, he was charged with a number of charges of complicity in the management of an online platform for conducting illegal transactions, refusing to provide data upon requests from authorized bodies, money laundering, etc. In February of this year, the media, citing the French prosecutor’s office, wrote that the criminal case against Durov would not reach the court earlier than in a year.
