Durov spent more than eight hours in court, after which the Paris Prosecutor's Office announced the possibility of his release on bail. The Paris Prosecutors's Office said on Wednesday Durov has been placed under judicial supervision, is forbidden to leave France, and must pay bail worth 5 million euros ($5.5 million). Russian-born Durov, who holds citizenship in several countries, including France, was detained at Paris airport on Saturday on charges related to the criminal use of his Telegram app, including terrorism, drug trafficking, and money laundering. Durov has not yet posted the 5 million euro bail requested by the French justice system but will do so soon, his lawyer David-Olivier Kaminski has told Sputnik.He reassured Sputnik that Telegram respects European laws and also considers the claims that the owner of the social media service is responsible for the abuses committed on it to be absurd.

Telegram CEO Durov Left Paris Court After Release From Custody, Report Says
10:05 29.08.2024 (Updated: 11:55 29.08.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Telegram CEO Pavel Durov left the court in Paris after being released from custody, a Sputnik correspondent reported from the scene.
Durov spent more than eight hours in court, after which the Paris Prosecutor's Office announced the possibility of his release on bail.
The Paris Prosecutors's Office said on Wednesday Durov has been placed under judicial supervision, is forbidden
to leave France, and must pay bail worth 5 million euros ($5.5 million).
Russian-born Durov, who holds citizenship in several countries, including France, was detained at Paris airport on Saturday on charges related to the criminal use of his Telegram app, including terrorism, drug trafficking, and money laundering.
Durov has not yet posted the 5 million euro bail requested by the French justice system but will do so soon, his lawyer David-Olivier Kaminski has told Sputnik.
"Yes, it [the bail] will be posted soon," Kaminski said.
He reassured Sputnik that Telegram respects European laws and also considers the claims that the owner of the social media service is responsible for the abuses committed on it to be absurd.
"Telegram complies with European laws, including the Digital Services Act, and its moderation actions comply with industry standards. It makes no sense to say that the platform or its head are responsible for the abuses that occurred on it," Kaminski said.
