Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov appeared before the judge today to answer the charges against him. It was stated that Durov, who had been in custody for about 4 days, was released from police custody and referred to the court, where he was released after answering the questions of prosecutors and the judge.

According to the information given by the prosecutor in Paris to the US media, Durov entered a preliminary interrogation and after this interrogation, it will be decided whether an indictment will be written for him.

As it will be remembered, the 39-year-old entrepreneur was detained at Bourget airport in Paris on Saturday and has been in police custody since then.

Durov’s detention was reacted by business people led by Elon Musk. French President Emmanuel Macron stated that this was not a politically motivated step, but a move made within the scope of a legal investigation.

Russia and the United Arab Emirates, another country where Durov has citizenship, also announced that they were following the case.
