The Russian-born billionaire left the anti-fraud office near Paris in a police vehicle on Wednesday afternoon, according to a report.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov was released from police custody in France on Wednesday and transferred to court for questioning before a possible indictment.
One factor they will consider is whether Durov is a flight risk. He holds French and United Arab Emirates citizenship — and a net worth estimated at more than $9 billion. Durov’s arrest has thrust into focus the uneasy relationship between governments and Telegram, which has close to 1 billion users. In a statement on Monday, Telegram said it abided by European Union laws and its moderation was “within industry standards and constantly improving.”
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that the decision to bring charges against Durov was “in no way political.”According to Telegram, Pavel Durov supports the app “financially and ideologically while Nikolai’s input is technological.” Durov said government authorities demanded that the VKontakte take down the online communities of Russian opposition activists.
