Germany frees Thai prince's plane

Germany has released a plane belonging to Thailand's crown prince which was seized at Munich airport as surety for an outstanding Thai government debt, a court official said yesterday.

"The plane has been released," Christoph Fellner, vice-president of the Landshut regional court in the southern state of Bavaria told AFP.

"The seals were removed at about 6 pm yesterday (Tuesday)," he said.

"For this to have happened a surety must have been paid. I haven't yet heard from the parties concerned as to whether the whole affair has been settled and if the main proceedings can now be dropped," he added.
