"Pavel Durov escaped from the courtroom through ventilation" 

This duck was born in the depths of the trash TG channel "MODERA KUSSIA88 (141 SQUAD)" on 800 subscribers.

It is published by this same channel and no one else. Others are smart enough not to continue this blatant nonsense.

To be fair, the channel "MODERS KUSSIA88 (141 SQUAD)" does not try to pass off this "news" as the real deal, it is blatantly fake.

They decided to troll a little, hype it up, or just kidding - call it what you want.

"Durov's plane tried to leave French airspace"

This news item with the words "Durov", "arrest" and "escape" in the title was published by the Zen channel Inter Rright with 800 subscribers.

Yesterday's arrest of Pavel Durov in Paris is acquiring new details, according to the Zen channel. According to Flightradar24 data, Durov's business jet, an Embraer Legacy, attempted to avoid detention by abruptly changing its route. However, the maneuver was unsuccessful: the plane was forced to return to Le Bourget Airport. This fact indicates that Durov may have been aware of the upcoming operation.

Unlike the previous one, it is based on facts.

Baza, citing Le Figaro, writes:

Durov's Embraer Legacy 600 plane landed at the French airport at 19:30 local time. A few minutes later, Pavel was detained.

That is, the make of Durov's plane is indicated correctly. It is the Embraer Legacy 600 jet that is mentioned in media reports about "Durov's last flight."

But what about the turn in the sky?

The first to write about this was the VChK-OGPU channel, which interpreted the FlightRadar map in this way.

Later, this version began to be replicated by some Ukrainian Telegram channels.

The Ateo Breaking channel cites FlightRadar for the details of Pavel Durov's "last flight":

• Jet: Embraer Legacy 600
• Departure airport: Baku (GYD)
• Departure time: ≈ 12:00 UTC (15:00 Moscow time)
• Arrival airport: Paris (LBG)
• Arrival time: ≈ 17:30 UTC (20:30 Moscow time)
