Russia's former president said Durov 'miscalculated' by leaving his motherland.
Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov fled Russia in 2014 A Russian-French billionaire who founded Telegram was arrested at Bourget airport outside Paris late on Saturday, moments after getting off his private jet, it has been reported. Pavel Durov, who is known as Russia’s Mark Zuckerberg, the managing director of Facebook, was arriving from Azerbaijan when he was intercepted by authorities at about 8pm.
‘I would rather be free than to take orders from anyone,’ Durov told US journalist Tucker Carlson in April about his exit from Russia and search for a home for his company which included stints in Berlin, London, Singapore and San Francisco. Following his arrest last night, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said he ‘miscalculated by fleeing Russia’ and thinking that he would never have to answer to security services abroad.
