Reports say authorities have been investigating a lack of moderators on the app, which they say allows criminal activity to take place.

Our correspondent Will Vernon explains what we know about the arrest.

本臺記者威爾-弗農（Will Vernon）介紹了我們所瞭解的逮捕情況。

Yeah, this is coming from a number of French media who quote sources in French law enforcement who say that Pavel Durov was arrested on Saturday evening last night at an airport near Paris.

一些法國媒體援引法國執法部門的消息來源稱，帕維爾-杜羅夫於週六晚間在巴黎附近的機場被捕。

He'd apparently arrived on his private jet from Azerbaijan and they're saying he was arrested on the basis of an arrest warrant that was issued in connection with Telegram's failure to moderate illegal content and cooperate with law enforcement over drug trafficking, child sexual content and fraud.

他顯然是乘坐私人飛機從阿塞拜疆趕來的，他們說他是根據逮捕令被捕的，逮捕令是因 Telegram 在販毒、兒童色情內容和詐騙等問題上未能控制非法內容並與執法部門合作而簽發的。

This is just coming from French media.

這只是法國媒體的報道。

We should stress, of course, Telegram would almost certainly deny all of allegations.

當然，我們應該強調，Telegram 幾乎肯定會否認所有指控。

But we'll have to see now whether he could appear in court today.

但我們得看看他今天能否出庭。

French media are saying he could be indicted today.

法國媒體稱，他可能在今天被起訴。

And of course, what the reaction will be.

You mentioned that the Russian foreign ministry, they've said that diplomats in Paris are urgently working in connection with his arrest.

He's been quite a private person.

But more recently, he did a long interview with Tucker Carlson in America and so has come out more in public, hasn't he?

但最近，他在美國接受了塔克-卡爾森（Tucker Carlson）的一次長篇訪談，是以在公開場合露面的機會更多了，不是嗎？

He was quite vocal when he was still in Russia.

You mentioned that in 2014, he fell out with the authorities.

According to him, the Kremlin tried to basically take control of the company.

They tried to force VK, which is the company that he created, Russia's version of Facebook, to hand over personal data of pro-Ukrainian protesters, anti-Kremlin protesters.

他們試圖迫使他創建的俄羅斯版 Facebook 公司 VK 交出親烏克蘭抗議者和反克里姆林宮抗議者的個人數據。

According to Dorov, the company refused to do that.

據多羅夫稱，該公司拒絕這樣做。

And he was basically forced to sell it to a company that had close links to the Kremlin.
