There doesn't seem to be any indication that he has been
charged with anything.

Usually raids happen to collect evidence that might lead to the
suspect being charged later on, but it can also lead to the case
being dropped by the public prosecution and that might even happen
without analysing the evidence.

At least in Germany my impression is that Tor-related raids
don't usually lead to Tor-related charges. I'm not aware of
any statistics about this, though.
