Pavel Durov summoned as suspect in Russia

Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced on Wednesday that he received a summons in Russia naming him as a suspect in an unspecified criminal case. The summons was delivered to an old address, according to Durov's statement. This development comes amid ongoing tensions between the Russian government and the encrypted messaging platform, which has been used extensively by opposition figures and activists. Durov, who left Russia in 2014, has previously faced pressure from Russian authorities over Telegram's refusal to provide encryption keys to security services.
