Swiss national Goeldi freed from Libya jail

Max Goeldi, the Swiss man at the centre of a long-running diplomatic row between Switzerland and Libya, has been released from prison in Tripoli, his lawyer told Reuters on Thursday.

"Goeldi has been freed," Salah Zahaf said. "He is in good condition physically and morally. He is in a hotel in Tripoli right now and on Saturday we will start making arrangements for an exit visa so he can return home." (Reuters)
