SF chief reporter Christoph Müller, who was arrested in Thailand, has had his passport returned and can leave the country. However, he must report to the competent court in Pattaya at the beginning of April 2009. In a press release, SF editor-in-chief Ueli Haldimann expresses his relief that Christoph Müller can leave the country and resume his work. Müller and Swiss Television are cooperating with the Thai authorities. Haldimann is certain that all the accusations will soon disappear into thin air.
Müller was arrested at the end of February on entering Thailand. The arrest warrant dates back to 2006 and is apparently based on a defamation complaint filed by a Thai organization.
