When Eva Galperin heard that Pavel Durov, the founder of the popular messaging service Telegram, was arrested in Paris over the weekend, she quickly got in touch with French privacy and legal experts.
According to TF1 he was arrested due to lack of cooperation with law enforcement regarding suspected complicity in drug trafficking, CSAM, and fraud. So my interpretation is that they repeatedly ignored french law enforcement asking Telegram to take down certain channels. Maybe warrant was the wrong word I am not a native speaker.
I’ve never heard anything about ignoring French warrants…?

There were warrants issued on March 25 to him and his brother, which were ignored.
