@lory do you have any details? Who "owes" the money (person or company) and what are the claimed criminal charges? What do the lawyers say, are the criminal claims substantiated or is it the normal "hot air" case?In any case his lawyer will be able to inform him if its just a case of you will owe 1 million and there will be a lien against you if you lose. That's best outcome rather than some sort of fraud case etc reported to police that your in court for alongside the agreement breach .
