On Wednesday, the troubled Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was given bail with the requirement to pay €5 million ($5.56 million). In addition, he is placed under court supervision and is required to sign with the police twice a week.
The wealthy computer magnate, who was born in Russia, was arrested on Saturday at a French airport and then charged with twelve counts of possible participation. In a statement, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau stated that “Pavel Durov was placed under judicial supervision and indicted.” Until further notice, he is also prohibited from leaving France.

The Arrest of the Telegram CEO Upends Other Governments in Paris, Moscow, and Abu Dhabi
The arrest of Pavel Durov sparked widespread outrage that reached the administrations of Paris, Moscow, and Abu Dhabi. For example, even if Durov disassociates himself from Moscow, Telegram has developed into a vital channel for communications between the Russian military and the battlefield.

The head of the Russian army’s communication was “practically detained,” according to a Russian military blogger channel. Alarmed Russian policy leaders are therefore demanding Durov’s release. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates declared that it had requested access to Durov’s consulate from the French authorities. The founder of Telegram is an Emirati national.
The UAE has requested that the Government of the French Republic provide Pavel Durov with all necessary consular services immediately. The UAE is closely monitoring the case of its citizen, the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, who was detained by the French authorities at Paris-Le Bourget Airport, the Foreign Ministry of Abu Dhabi wrote on Monday. In addition, his arrest sparked a heated discussion about IT legislation and online free expression.
