Russia warned France last Thursday, 22th of August, not to turn the investigation into Telegram CEO Pavel Durov into political harassment.
Russia issued the warning after the 39-year-old billionaire was questioned in France over his Telegram activities.
Durov was arrested on Saturday as he disembarked from his private plane at Paris-Le Bourget airport near the French capital.
According to a source close to the investigation, Durov had emphasized his relationship with the head of the French government during interrogations.
In a meeting with journalists in Serbia, Macron denied issuing any invitation to Durov and said he was unaware of his visit to France.
