TechFlow news, according to Cointelegraph, French President Emmanuel Macron held a press conference during his diplomatic visit to Serbia. In the televised event, the French leader told reporters that he did not invite Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov to France and was unaware of his arrival.
According to the translated version of Macron's response, the French president said: "As far as I'm concerned, I was completely unaware that Mr. Pavel Durov would come to France. This is normal because I don't know about all the people coming to France from around the world, regardless of whether they hold French citizenship or not."
The French president then reiterated that Durov's case will be handled by the "independent actions of the French judicial system." France has faced widespread international criticism over its decision to arrest Durov, but Macron insisted that the detention of the tech entrepreneur was not politically motivated.
