Pravo: Czech detained in United Arab Emirates able to return home

A Czech businessman held in the United Arab Emirates on charges of illegally using the internet to make telephone calls is to be allowed to return home, reported Saturday's Pravo. Roman Mnicha was arrested in February, charged with making calls to his business partner, Michal Zamec, illegally over the internet. Subsequently, the communications firm providing the telephone link took Mr. Mnicha to court, seeking damages of 3.7 million CZK (185,000 USD) for the illegal use of its service. This week, the court ruling on the case threw out the telecommunications company Etisalat's complaint, and now that Mr. Mnicha is no longer on trial, he can return home.
