A National District Judge, Patricia Padilla has overturned the demand for remand in prison imposed last week and released the Dominican-American businessman of Arab origin Karim Abu Naba’a Nicolas. In its place she imposed bail of five million pesos, an exit ban and periodic court appearances. <\/p>\n
Abu Naba’a’s release came about following an agreement to pay a debt he owed for a painting.<\/p>\n

Castillo said that his clients would also be prepared to drop the case for a financial settlement. <\/p>\n
