The French judicial department has extended the detention time of Russian-born Telegram founder Pavel Durov to 96 hours, which is the longest detention period possible at this stage. Durov was arrested at Paris airport on Sunday, and the investigating judge responsible for the case has extended his detention beyond the night of Sunday. When this initial 96-hour detention period ends, the judge may choose to release him or continue the prosecution and extend the detention. French investigators issued an arrest warrant for Durov as part of an investigation into charges involving fraud, drug trafficking, organized crime, terrorist propaganda, and cyberbullying.
