According to an Aug. 28 Bloomberg report, French prosecutors said they had indicted Durov with criminal charges related to his role at Telegram and required him to post bail in the amount of 5 million euros before he could be released from custody. Police delivered Durov to court after he was detained at an airport north of Paris on Aug. 25.

Durov also reportedly faces child abuse allegations in Switzerland that are unrelated to the French case.
