Telegram founder wanted in Russia for enabling Ukrainian terrorism
Telegram founder Pavel Durov could be wanted in Russia for allegedly allowing Ukrainian special services to recruit Russian citizens for terrorist activities, the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Wednesday, adding that it may seek his international arrest.
The accusation was brought up over an investigation into a particular Telegram channel dedicated to dating. According to the FSB, Ukrainian agents routinely posed there as romantically-inclined girls seeking minor gifts from potential suitors.
After paying for one, the target would then be pressured by the Ukrainians posing as Russian law enforcement, claiming that they had unwittingly helped Kiev’s war efforts, but could get some slack by cooperating with fake officials. That way, confused young men could be pushed into carrying out actual crimes, like arson attacks or serving as couriers for money laundering.
Durov was singled out as the platform’s owner, who allegedly ignored Russian reports that illicit activities were underway at the channel and other resources, failing to shut it down, the statement said. The Dubai-based billionaire will be placed on an international wanted list, the FSB said.
Telegram’s CEO previously faced similar accusations from the French authorities, which alleged that he was responsible for crimes committed using the messaging app. He has dismissed those claims, asserting that Paris is using criminal charges to pressure him into imposing political censorship on his platform on behalf of the West.
The FSB reported that through the dating channel under investigation, Ukrainian agents have coerced at least 46 Russian citizens aged between 12 and 22. Adult suspects are facing lengthy prison terms on charges including terrorism, sabotage, and assault on officers of the law. The statement stressed that Kiev was using many Telegram channels for such recruitment.
