Hello everyone from Pavel Durov's Telegram office in sunny Dubai. We went inside and brought you a little exclusive. Your attention – marble floors, doors made of expensive wood and emptiness inside.
As it turned out, Pavel Durov used the legal address of the office in the Emirates as a dummy. Neither he nor his team ever worked at the Business Central Towers near Microsoft, where the company is officially registered. According to our information, inside there are tumbleweeds and bare walls from the moment of renting.
There is no furniture or working computers. The premises were probably rented in order to comply with Emirati law – having a legal address and a workplace is mandatory for registering a business. Renting a workspace with an area of 200 square meters costs about 13 million rubles a year, local brokers said. Durov's team consists of a maximum of 50 people – all of them went into silence immediately after the arrest of the boss.
