He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The arrest of the president of Telegram on French soil took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. It is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to rule on the matter.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the same time, reports have emerged that his application for Telegram is being scrutinized in India. However, there is no immediate threat of a ban.<\/p>\n<p>Reports stated that India's cybercrime wing is investigating Telegram for its potential misuse in criminal activities, which could lead to a ban if deemed necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Support for Durov<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Durov's arrest has sparked significant <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/justin-sun-pledges-1million-to-dao-supporting-telegrams-pavel-durov\/\">attention<\/a> within legal and crypto communities. Critics, including whistleblower <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/edward-snowden\/\">Edward Snowden<\/a> and tech entrepreneur <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/elon-musk\/\">Elon Musk<\/a>, have condemned the arrest as an attack on free speech.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, crypto stakeholders like Ethereum co-founder <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/vitalik-buterin\/\">Vitalik Buterin<\/a> and Tron blockchain founder <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/justin-sun\/\">Justin Sun<\/a> have spoken against the arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the UAE has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wam.ae\/a\/1436r55\">stepped<\/a> in and requested consular services for Durov.<\/p>\n<p>Durov holds citizenship in several countries, including the UAE, France, Russia, St. Kitts and Nevis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most crypto bettors on Polymarket, a decentralized prediction marketplace, do not expect the detained Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov, to be released this month.
