Attorney says Yair Klein released from Russian prison
An attorney representing Yair Klein, who was jailed for allegedly aiding a terror organization in Colombia, says his client has been set free and that he would arrive in Israel in the coming days.
Klein was sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Colombia court for advising a local terror organization under the command of drug lords in the city of Medellin. He was arrested in Russia three years ago on an international warrant, but a European court refused to extradite him to Colombia. Last month the court rejected Moscow's appeal on the matter.
