Telegram CEO Pavel Durov says he still can't travel freely almost a year after being arrested
In an interview with Tucker Carlson posted on YouTube on Tuesday, Durov said that following his arrest in August 2024, French authorities detained him for four days in solitary confinement without access to a lawyer or phone calls. "They read the list of charges; I have nothing to do with these crimes, like organized crime, selling drugs," he said. "But then I realized it's serious because they're not letting me out." Durov said the charges pertained to alleged criminal activity by some users on Telegram, the messaging app he founded that now has about a billion users. French prosecutors charged Durov in late August with six crimes, including "complicity" in the distribution of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking, arguing that he allowed illegal activity to flourish on Telegram while refusing to cooperate with authorities. He faced up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 500,000 euros if convicted. Telegram has called the case "absurd," insisting Durov was not responsible for user behavior on a platform that complied with EU law. Durov remained under judicial control, a legal status that restricted his travel. "I can't leave the country because there's still an investigation going on," he told Carlson. However, in March Durov was allowed to visit Dubai, where he had been living. Last month Politico reported that French authorities had denied Durov's request to travel to the US for "negotiations with investment funds." The Paris prosecutor's office told the outlet that the trip "did not appear imperative or justified." Russian-born Durov, who holds French and UAE citizenship, said he was not contacted by authorities before his arrest, despite Telegram's Dubai office being located in the same building as the French consulate. He said he believed his detention was a pressure tactic: "It's very, very strange what happened because it could have been resolved by different means." Durov said Telegram complied with European law and handed over user data such as IP addresses and phone numbers when ordered by a court.

"It's an investigation intended to find out whether there will be enough evidence to put this on trial." The Élysée Palace and Telegram didn't immediately reply to requests for comment.

Authorities believe they spotted ex-soldier Travis Decker, who is wanted in deaths of 3 daughters
SEATTLE -- Authorities say they believe they spotted Travis Decker, an ex-soldier wanted in the deaths of his three daughters, near a remote alpine lake in Washington state, after receiving a tip from hikers who said they saw a lone person who appeared to be ill-prepared for the conditions. The Chelan County Sheriff's office said in a Facebook post Tuesday that tracking teams responded immediately, and a helicopter crew spotted a hiker near Colchuk Lake, in a popular Cascade Range backpacking area called The Enchantments. The off-trail hiker ran from sight as the helicopter passed, the sheriff's office said. Teams later found a trail, and K-9 teams tracked the person to the area of the Ingalls Creek Trailhead, south of Leavenworth. Authorities did not say when they spotted the subject, but late Monday night they issued an alert for residents in the Ingalls Creek and the Valleyhi community to lock homes and vehicles and to be on the lookout for Decker. Decker, 32, has been the target of a large manhunt ever since June 2, when a sheriff's deputy found his truck and the bodies of his three daughters — 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker — at a campground outside Leavenworth. He had failed to return the girls to their mother's home in Wenatchee, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Seattle, following a scheduled visit three days earlier. Decker was an infantryman in the U.S. Army from March 2013 to July 2021 and deployed to Afghanistan for four months in 2014. He has training in navigation, survival and other skills, authorities said. He once spent more than two months living in the backwoods off the grid. Officials with an array of state and federal agencies have searched hundreds of square miles, much of it mountainous and remote, by land, water and air. The U.S. Marshals Service was offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to his capture. Last September, his ex-wife, Whitney Decker, wrote in a petition to modify their parenting plan that his mental health issues had worsened and that he had become increasingly unstable, often living out of his truck. She sought to restrict him from having overnight visits with their daughters until he found housing. An autopsy on Friday determined the cause of death to be suffocation, the sheriff's office said. The girls had been bound with zip ties and had plastic bags placed over their heads.
