Don't worry mate, atleast you qualify for Prime Minister of Italy.

[Hodd Toward]

Is he free as in beer?

[smurfy]

It's not like they just said yeah he's an innocent man. They are legally required to release him

[Lazzars]

would he not be considered a flight risk?

Nice musical reference, AK'z.

idk if they even have such a provision in egyptian law. they just can't hold him for more than 2 years before trial

Just because they're releasing him doesn't mean he won't have eyes kept on him.

Besides, all they have to do is keep his passport. You can't detain someone simply for being a flight-risk.

He's under house arrest in a military hospital. Not so free.
