Spanish court releases Saddam Hussein lawyer : "Spain's National Court has ordered the release of an Italian lawyer who was part of the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's defence team, judicial sources said Wednesday.
Giovanni Di Stefano, 55, was held on Monday in Palma de Majorca. A British court accuses him of 18 crimes including embezzlement and fraud.
Di Stefano presented himself as a lawyer in Britain, without having been authorized to exercise as such, embezzling clients between 2004 and 2009, the British court said.
Spain's National Court ordered Di Stefano's release for health reasons while he was waiting to be operated at a Palma hospital. He was due to be extradited to Britain later on."
