Iran’s court acquits French-German national accused of ‘espionage’

An Iranian court on Monday announced the acquittal of Lennart Monterlos, a French-German national charged with espionage and detained in June during the war between Tehran and Tel Aviv.

 

“The Revolutionary Court, taking into account legal principles and doubts about the crime, has issued a verdict of acquittal of the accused, although according to the law, the prosecutor has the right to object to the verdict,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website reported.

Monterlos, 19, was arrested on June 16 in the southern city of Bandar Abbas while cycling alone across Iran, on the third day of the war between Tehran and the Zionist regime.
