Maybe Durov felt safer in French custody than possibly being extraordinarily renditioned to Russia from the UAE?

I mean, he probably is safer in France than in Russia. Sure, he's gonna have the gendarmes crawling up his ass and Telegram's privacy credentials are likely in jeopardy, but its still better than a visit from the FSB any day.
