A Moscow fertility clinic has suddenly found itself at odds with the Kremlin over a stockpile of sperm donated by billionaire tech entrepreneur Pavel Durov, who’s now officially deemed a “terrorist” within the country.
AltraVita has an entire webpage promoting IVF using the sperm of Durov, who it describes as “one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time.”
The Telegram founder covers all costs involved in the IVF procedure to “help those who dream of becoming parents,” the clinic notes.
Now, however, he’s a wanted man in his native country as Vladimir Putin’s security services seek his arrest on charges of facilitating terrorism.
High-profile Moscow lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky, in comments to local media, said “his sperm cells remain free and do not carry the extremist taint associated with Durov himself.”
