The Telegram team said, "Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe."
The Telegram messaging platform has issued what appears to be its first official statement concerning the detention of its CEO, Pavel Durov.
Durov’s status remains unclear as French authorities have so far reportedly refused to cooperate with the Russian embassy. As Cointelegraph previously reported, authorities in Paris are scheduled to give an official statement on Monday, Aug. 26.
Telegram’s official statement was posted on Aug. 25 at approximately 12:00PM PST, via the platform’s Telegram News channel. The company expressed its full-throated support for its CEO and wishes for a quick resolution to the situation.
