Prior to his arrest over the weekend, the founder of Telegram disclosed that he has over 100 biological children spread over the globe.
The creator of the well-known messaging app, Pavel Durov, was placed under arrest in France as a part of a continuing legal probe.
Due to his extensive work in the social media industry, Durov—who has been living in exile in Russia since 2014—has sometimes been compared to be the Russian equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg.
In addition to frequently traveling throughout Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, Durov has been running Telegram out of Dubai for the past few years.
But the 39-year-old was taken into custody on Saturday on suspicion of not moderating enough on Telegram.
Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, declared on Monday that the arrest was “in no way a political decision.”
“The arrest of the Telegram president on French territory took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation,” Macron posted via Twitter.
“This is not a political choice in the slightest. The judges will make the final decision.”
Since then, French authorities have made the case public, claiming that the investigation and the arrest that followed were connected to a probe into purported financial and cybercrimes on Telegram.
“It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform,” the Telegram app stated in a message sent after the arrest. “We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation.”
Durov claimed to have over 100 children in a post on Telegram last month, making quite the statement.
He posted: “I was just told that I have over 100 biological kids.”My friend came to me fifteen years ago with an unusual request. He explained that he and his spouse were unable to conceive and wanted me to provide sperm to a clinic so they might become parents.”
Tech mogul went on: “The clinic’s manager informed me that there was a shortage of “high quality donor material” and that it was my civic responsibility to contribute more sperm in order to aid more couples in secret. In 2024, my previous charitable endeavors have aided more than a hundred couples across twelve nations in becoming parents.”Furthermore, at least one IVF facility still keeps my frozen sperm available for people looking to conceive surreptitiously, even though I ceased being a donor many years ago.”
The computer expert continued by saying that he intends to make his DNA “open-source” in order to facilitate easier communication between his biological offspring.
With an estimated billion users, Telegram is an encrypted chat and social media app. The app has a reputation for being especially well-liked in regions of the world with higher levels of censorship or surveillance.
Full details and video here for what happened with MTG and Fani Willis
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is piIing on the woes of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, filing a criminaI conduct complaint on Thursday alleging the Georgia prosecutor abu sed her powers and taxpayer dollars by allegedly hiring and handsomely paying a subordinate with whom she was having a secret romantic relationship.
A Georgia Fox affiliate reported that Rep. Greene has filed her complaint with Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr, asking both to investigate whether the Democrat mixed poIitics with pleasure when she paid special prosecutor Nathan Wade approximately $700,000 to involve himself in her prose cution of former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants. DA Willis is alleging the former president, along with Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and more than a dozen others committed racketeering by attempting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Earlier this week, an attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants fiIed a motion in the case to relieve DA Willis of her prosecutorial power, alleging she carried on a secret affair with Wade.
If true, Fani Willis serious lawlessness, including potential vioIation of public oath would irreparably impair her prose cution of Trump, Green wrote to Gov. Kemp and AG Carr.
