Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, is in the midst of a criminal case in France, which may have serious repercussions for both his professional and personal life.

Arrest and Pregnancy News

On August 24, Pavel Durov, along with Juli Vavilova and assistant Mario, were detained at a French airport, where their phones and laptops were confiscated. Juli managed to contact her mom before the devices were taken. Later, Vavilova and Mario were released, but Durov remained in custody. The next day, August 25, news emerged that Durov faced charges that could lead to a 20-year imprisonment. Vavilova discovered she was pregnant but could not share the news. Police summoned her for questioning, but her doctor advised against it due to stress.

The Tragic Loss

The following month was challenging. Juli focused on coping both physically and mentally while supporting Durov. On October 4, at 10 weeks of pregnancy, she heard heartbreaking news—the baby wouldn't survive. On October 5, she underwent surgery, stating: 'It was quick, with almost no physical pain.'

Telegram's Growth Amidst the Events

Despite the founder's personal struggles, Telegram continues to develop and delight its users with new features. The Major Puzzle Durov game, launched in July, is gaining popularity with users solving cryptographic puzzles.

The criminal case against Durov and his personal life tragedy highlight the difficult times he is facing. Despite these events, Telegram continues to move forward, demonstrating resilience and popularity.
