Pavel Durov was reportedly offered to move Telegram to Paris during his meeting with the French president in 2018.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s phone was reportedly hacked in 2017, a year before his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, which has only recently come to light.
In the most recent development, Durov was reportedly targeted by French and United Arab Emirates spies in 2017, a year before his meeting with Macron.
The joint operation, code-named “Purple Music,” hacked Durov’s iPhone due to the UAE’s concern over the use of Telegram to recruit operatives and plan attacks, anonymous sources familiar with the matter reportedly told The Wall Street Journal.
