Telegram released an official statement on the arrest of founder Pavel Durov

Telegram issued its first official statement on the arrest of its chief executive, Pavel Durov, who has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe. "It is not clear what exactly Durov has been charged with or whether he has been arrested. There have been various reports that he may have been arrested for lack of management of the Telegram platform, but the facts remain murky without official confirmation from the French government or further explanation from Telegram."
