Sami Saga Continues

It's just a short update story from Deutsche Welle today.....over Osama bin Laden's former driver....A, who was deported (illegally) out of Germany to Tunisia, and now the German courts want him sent back.  I've essay several times over the Sami story.

So the update today is this....Sami got released by the Tunisian cops.  Yep....but they kept his passport and told him that he couldn't leave the country.

That court business back in Germany?  Well....it's an interesting thing.  The Tunisians say....NO one has requested from the German Foreign Office.....to have Sami retrieved or deported back to Germany.  No one.

The court system?  They have a fine pending on Bochum (the city for pushing on deportation) of 10,000 Euro at the end of this month, if Sami doesn't reappear.

Overall, I'd say this has become a big comedy affair, with Sami just sitting there in mass confusion.  He's sitting there and could be yanked back to Germany.....but only if the German Foreign Office requested it.  Apparently the court system hasn't said a word to them, and all this German hype (making this a top ten news piece) is rather amusing.
