Urs Tinner, alleged Khan middleman, is free — according to AP:
A Swiss man suspected of involvement in the world’s biggest nuclear smuggling ring has been released from prison after more than four years of investigative detention, his family said Sunday.
Urs Tinner, 43, was freed several days ago, his mother, Hedwig Tinner, said by telephone from eastern Switzerland.
His brother Marco Tinner, 40, remains in detention while prosecutors appeal his release to the federal criminal court in Bellinzona, she said, declining to comment further.
Pretrial detention is no picnic, but it is shocking to me that not a single one of the alleged Khan middleman has done a day in prison after a conviction — with the possible exception of Gotthard Lerch. That one I am still not sure about.
