PARIS – The CEO of Telegram Pavel Durov was charged on Wednesday by the French judiciary with a litany of violations related to the messaging app but allowed to go free while being banned from leaving the country.
Durov was granted conditional release against a bail of five million euros on the condition he must report to a police station twice a week as well as remain in France, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement following an hours-long hearing with two investigating magistrates.
