Iran acquits French-German national charged with 'espionage'
October 07, 2025
|Gulf Today
An Iranian court on Monday announced the acquittal of Lennart Monterlos, a French-German national accused of espionage and arrested in June during the war between Iran and Israel.
-
The decision followed an earlier announcement by Tehran that it hopes for the imminent release of a French couple detained in Tehran since 2022 in exchange for the release of an Iranian woman arrested in France.
Monterlos, 19, was arrested on June 16 in the southern city of Bandar Abbas on the third day of the war between Iran and Israel.
The charges against the teenager, who was cycling alone across Iran on a Europe-to-Asia bike trip, were never officially disclosed.
His family had called on Iranian authorities to release him, arguing he was “innocent of everything.”
