Mystery Woman Linked to Telegram CEO’s Arrest: Who is Juli Vavilova? Speculation Surrounds Telegram CEO’s Arrest in France Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was arrested on August 24 after landing in France on his private jet. Reports reveal that a mystery woman accompanied him—24-year-old crypto coach Juli Vavilova, who is now at the center of widespread speculation. Who is Juli Vavilova? Juli Vavilova, a crypto coach and streamer based in Dubai, is active on social media, particularly Instagram. She describes herself as a gamer with interests in gaming, crypto, languages, and mindset. Vavilova is rumored to be Durov’s girlfriend, and some reports suggest she may be linked to his arrest. Is She a Mossad Agent? Speculation has run wild since Durov's arrest, with one theory suggesting Vavilova is a Mossad agent. Some believe she was planted as a "honey trap" to facilitate Durov’s capture. Others propose she was under Mossad surveillance, with her frequent social media posts from the same locations as Durov—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Azerbaijan—leading to his arrest. Why Was Pavel Durov Arrested? Pavel Durov, a Russian-born billionaire with dual French-Russian citizenship, was arrested at Le Bourget airport near Paris. Reports suggest Durov was flying in from Azerbaijan when he was detained. The arrest is linked to his alleged failure to curb criminal activity on Telegram, particularly related to violence against minors, according to France's OFMIN. Kremlin's Response The Kremlin stated on August 26 that it had received no information from France regarding Durov's arrest. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, "We do not know concretely what Durov is accused of. We have not heard any official declaration on this subject." He added that it would be inappropriate to comment until the situation becomes clearer. With this arrest shrouded in mystery, the role of Juli Vavilova remains a topic of intense speculation.
