Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messenger, admitted that he collaborated with the French special services, which helped prevent several terrorist attacks. This is reported in particular by the French newspaper Liberation.

According to the sources of the publication, during the interrogation Pavel Durov said that he maintained contacts with the General Directorate of Internal Security of France (DGSI) and met with its representatives in Dubai. Thanks to this, several terrorist attacks were prevented.
