> The buck stops with him, sure but he didn't personally partake in any of the alleged activity on telegram.

He's not accused of personally partaking in anything, the arrest warrant is about Telegram as a platform not working on removing content that broke the law, even when notified about it.

Yes but that is the company Telegram, not him personally. Keeping a person in custody is a very heavy handed measure. And not very effective.

Telegram can easily replace him as CEO with someone else after all.

What is he accused of? I can't find any sources that say any more than that, he was arrested, and that the warrant was issued by a team investigating larger issues.

Here you have the accusations, directly from the prosecutors: https://www.tribunal-de-paris.justice.fr/sites/default/files...
