Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Charged by Russia Over Alleged Terrorism Facilitation

Russia has brought criminal terrorism-facilitation charges and issued an international arrest warrant for Telegram founder Pavel Durov. The Federal Security Service (FSB) alleges the platform failed to remove content used by Ukrainian special services and extremist groups to coordinate sabotage, terrorism, and cyber fraud within Russia. Despite this escalation and Russia's promotion of its own MAX messaging app, government bodies, including the Kremlin, continue using Telegram. Durov, now holding Emirati and French citizenship, faces separate investigations in France and has previously called such actions an attack on free speech. Telegram, with over one billion users, remains central to communications in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

FSB Declares Pavel Durov Internationally Wanted in Terrorism Facilitation Case

The founder of the messaging app Telegram, Pavel Durov, has been declared internationally wanted by Russia's FSB security service. He is accused of facilitating terrorist activity. According to the FSB, numerous Telegram channels, chats, and bots are used by Ukrainian intelligence services, terrorists, and extremists to prepare sabotage and mass killings in Russia, and the platform has allegedly failed to remove them. The agency specifically highlighted a recruitment channel called "Dayvynchik." As part of a broader investigation, Russian authorities reportedly detained 46 individuals between the ages of 12 and 22 across several regions. They are alleged to have committed crimes on behalf of Ukrainian intelligence, including attacks on law enforcement and acting as money couriers. Based on this investigation, criminal charges were filed, leading to the accusations against Durov. The FSB also noted that the "Dayvynchik" bot had been banned since late 2025 for containing illegal content, but its materials reportedly remain accessible. This case extends ongoing Russian criticisms of Telegram's moderation policies. Durov has not yet commented on the charges.

Russian security service FSB has declared Telegram founder Pavel Durov internationally wanted on charges of facilitating terrorist activities. The FSB alleges that numerous Telegram channels, chats, and bots are actively used by Ukrainian intelligence services, terrorists, and extremists to plan sabotage and mass killings in Russia, and that these groups have not been removed from the platform.

The FSB reports that, over the past year, 46 individuals aged 12 to 22 were arrested across several Russian regions. They are accused of carrying out tasks for foreign intelligence, including attacks on security forces and acting as couriers to transfer money to Ukraine. This criminal case represents an escalation of long-standing Russian grievances against Telegram's content moderation policies. Durov has not yet commented on the charges.

Russia Proposes Legislation To Criminalize Unlicensed Crypto Operations

Russia has introduced a bill to criminalize unlicensed cryptocurrency operations, proposing prison terms of up to four years for individuals and up to seven years for organized groups. The legislation would require all digital asset services to register with or obtain a license from the central bank. This follows earlier regulations restricting retail crypto purchases to ₽300,000 annually per broker and banning banks from processing payments to unlicensed foreign platforms. The Supreme Court has raised concerns over the lack of justification for criminal penalties in the current draft.

Mt. Gox Hacker Unloads 1,300 Bitcoin As $360 Million Still Remains

Mt. Gox-linked entities associated with Aleksey Bilyuchenko have deposited another 1,300 BTC (worth $114 million) into unknown exchanges over the past week, according to Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic. The wallets still hold approximately 4,100 BTC ($360 million), with a total of 2,300 BTC sold so far. This continues a pattern of gradual selling observed since late 2023. Bilyuchenko faces charges in the U.S. for his alleged role in the 2011 Mt. Gox hack and money laundering conspiracy, carrying potential 20-year sentences. In Russia, he was convicted in a separate case related to the WEX exchange and sentenced to 3.5 years in prison. Uncertainty remains over who currently controls the funds, with some analysts suggesting possible involvement by Russian authorities.
