Arrested at an airport/CEO of Telegram released on bail, banned from leaving France

Telegram founder Pavel Durov under official investigation with bail set at $5.56 million, prosecutor says

Telegram founder Pavel Durov is under official investigation and will not be allowed to leave France, a French prosecutor said in a statement released Wednesday night.

The Russian-born billionaire has been placed under judicial supervision, with bail set at $5.56 million (5 million euros), and will be required to report to a French police station twice a week and barred from leaving French territory.

Durov was released from police custody in France and transferred to court for questioning earlier in the day, prosecutors told CNN, days after his arrest at a Paris airport.

The Paris prosecutor's office had said he would face "initial questions and a possible indictment" in a court in the French capital.

Durov, 39, was arrested at Paris' Bourget airport on Saturday. He was being investigated on charges related to a number of crimes, including allegations that his platform was complicit in helping fraudsters, drug traffickers and people distributing child pornography./ CNA
