DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran acquitted French-German national Lennart Monterlos of espionage charges, the chief justice of the southern province of Hormozgan said on Monday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Monterlos is a young cyclist who was arrested in Iran in June during a 12-day-war between Iran and Israel.
The prosecutor could still raise objections to his acquittal, Tasnim added.
