Telegram CEO Released From Police Custody, Transferred To Court For Questioning

Pavel Durov, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Telegram, has been released from police custody after four days of interrogation.

According to CNN yesterday, Durov, who was seen exiting the anti-fraud office outside Paris in a police vehicle, was transferred to court for questioning ahead of a possible indictment.

The Paris prosecutor’s office, according to the report, said the billionaire would now face “initial questioning and possible indictment” at a court in the French capital.

The Telegram CEO was arrested by the French police at the Le Bourget airport on August 25. The 39-year-old was held for offences relating to the popular messaging app, according to international media.

It was said the CEO could face multiple charges bordering on alleged terrorism, money laundering, drug trafficking, and child abuse content.

On August 26, French President Emmanuel Macron said Durov’s arrest was not a political move but part of an ongoing judicial investigation.
