Al-Balad newspaper reported on Thursday that French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner announced during a press conference that Mohammad Zuhair as-Siddiq, the Syrian agent who allegedly misled the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), is no longer in France.
According to Al-Balad, Kouchner said that Siddiq was sentenced to house arrest in France but escaped.
The French minister said he does not have further information about the issue.
Kuwaiti newspaper As-Seyassah reported in April that Siddiq has resurfaced in Europe after imprisonment in the Gulf.
Siddiq was to be deported after his jail time in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he was given a six-month jail term that ends in April for entering the UAE on a fake Czech passport.
