LIONESS OF JUDAH MINISTRY
My personal opinion on the Pavel Durov situation is that this is a CIA (and their intelligence network) operation. France is part of the Nine Eyes network (an extension of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance).
Telegram has been on their radar for a long time.
Four months ago Pavel Durov gives his first interview in almost a decade to Tucker Carlson in which he reveals that U.S. intelligence agencies have been trying to recruit them, to get control of, and to compromise Telegram.
When something like this is publicly revealed and to such a large worldwide audience, this usually doesn’t sit well with the intelligence agencies.
He’s been safe while in Dubai and in other countries that are outside the Five Eyes/Nine Eyes/14 Eyes sphere of influence.
Then Pavel decided to leave and the perfect chance appeared to snatch him.
Now they will attempt to coerce Pavel in France to provide backdoor access to Telegram or face 20+ years in jail for made-up crimes that have nothing to do with him.
