The information fell on Tuesday late afternoon.
Player agent Mogi Bayat, former lawyer Laurent Denis and finance director of Mechelen Thierry Steemans have been released after the payment of a deposit, said Tuesday the federal prosecutor. The three men, who were charged with investigating fraud in the football community, were expected to appear before Tongeren's chambers on Friday.
The investigating judge therefore decided to conditionally release the player agent Mogi Bayat against a deposit of 150,000 euros. "
It's a big, big, great joy
Confirms Jean-Philippe Mainz, Mogi Bayat's lawyer. "
My client actually came out of jail this afternoon. We could organize this exit discreetly. We did not want the presence of the press because Mr. Bayat is forbidden to speak to the press
".
"
This release is a positive point. It is the result of a war that we conducted to badail the judge of inquiries and information going in this direction
", Continues Mainz, who defends the famous player agent with his colleague Tom Bauwens.
Another player agent, Dejan Veljkovic, was released on bail last week after signing a "repentant" status with the federal prosecutor's office. "
We also see that Dejan Veljkovic never worked with Mogi Bayat. The role we wanted to give Mr. Bayat may not be exactly what we announced
", Says Me Mainz. "
The investigating judge followed our last request for release made two days ago. He considered that, in view of the length of the detention, Mr. Bayat had not been questioned for 23 days, that it was no longer necessary to keep him in prison.
Thus the examining magistrate did not wait until Friday, when a new hearing was held before the council chamber.
