UAE in contact with French authorities over Telegram CEO Durov

A United Arab Emirates official said on Thursday the government was in contact with French authorities and representatives of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, who is a UAE citizen.

A French judge has placed Durov under a formal investigation after a probe into organized crime on the messaging app and ordered the Russian-born executive not to leave French territory.

"We are in touch with the French authorities about this case and Pavel Durov's representatives," the government official said, adding that the UAE prioritizes the welfare of its citizens and providing them with assistance was a key priority.
