The allegations of extremism and child abuse are baseless, Pavel Durov has told Tucker Carlson

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has called the criminal case against him in France unfair and baseless. In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, the Russian-born billionaire argued that he shouldn't be blamed for the crimes committed by the users on his messenger service.

Durov, whose company is based in Dubai, was arrested in France in August 2024 on charges of complicity in crimes allegedly committed by Telegram users, including extremism and child abuse. He was later released on bail of €5 million ($5.46 million). Although he was permitted to travel to the UAE in March, his recent request to visit the US has been denied, and he remains under restricted supervision.
