Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been in French detention since Saturday, when he was arrested at Paris's Bourget Airport, with a period of "questioning" (but with no formal charges) having now been extended into several days.
But breaking reports say the 39-year old billionaire who has French, Russia, and UAE citizenship has been transferred to a Paris court to face a judge in preparation for possible indictment.
French prosecutors say Durov will face "initial questioning and possible indictment" at the court. A CNN correspondent witnessed the following in the afternoon local time:
The Russian-born billionaire exited the anti-fraud office outside Paris in what appeared to be a police vehicle on Wednesday afternoon, according to a CNN producer there.
...He was placed in custody for up to 96 hours, the maximum amount of time someone can be held under French law before being charged.
