The analyst called the charges against Durov a "trumped-up political case", suggesting they were aimed at intimidating the tech entrepreneur. "There was a time when he was considered friendly with French President Macron," Johnson added. "But that is clearly behind us, because without Macron's knowledge and approval, such an arrest would not have happened."
