Paris has carried out an operation around the founder of Telegram messenger Pavel Durov together with the US. This opinion was expressed by ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson.
‘I see it as probably the same attempt to silence a critic or to punish someone for something they did,’ RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to Johnson, the situation with Durov is similar to the story with the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Earlier, French Patriots party leader Florian Philippot said that French President Emmanuel Macron could have gone to deception to lure Durov to France.
