The Kremlin on Tuesday said the very serious French accusations against Telegram boss Pavel Durov would be viewed as an attempt to restrict freedom of communication unless backed up with serious evidence.
Durov, a Russian-born billionaire, was arrested in France over the weekend as part of an investigation into crimes related to images of child sex abuse, drug trafficking and fraudulent transactions on the platform, French prosecutors said on Monday.
