Jailed ArmA III developers released on bail, to return home soon
By Tim Colwill on January 16, 2013 at 12:09 pm
Great news overnight as the ArmA III developers held on charges of espionage in Greece have been granted bail and allowed to return home. Bail was posted at 5000 Euros each, but the pair are not free of charges yet and will have to return to face court at some point in the future — once the Greek justice system stops being on strike.
The news comes after Czech President Václav Klaus interceded on behalf of the pair, urging the Greek Prime Minister to release them as soon as possible. Bohemia Interactive cited the jailing as a large part in their decision to delay ArmA III until some time in 2013.
According to the Help Ivan and Martin website, the pair have been in jail for 128 days.

About time, What a completely Asinine and ridiculous Fiasco this ordeal was. Just made the Greek Government look extremely foolish and shed them in an incredibly negative light IMO.
Excellent news!
They did have it coming and can only blame themselves…
I think any other light is better than their Debt fiasco. :P Which is probably why they jumped the gun.
this is so good.
Good news for the involved parties (even Greece they now look less of a failure inthe worlds eyes) and I bet that the campaign at http://www.helpivanmartin.org/ was no doubt helpful.
Very pleased to hear they are being released at last!
Thiiiis x1000000
Millions of other tourists go there and don’t get arrested and charged with espionage so it stands to reason that they were doing SOMETHING that caused it.
They still have to face charges remember guys, the Greeks are probably just sick of feeding them.
