“During the course of the day, there will be several meetings and of course, at any time, there might also be a decision to set him free,” says Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the Berlin prosecutor’s office in a statement to the Associated Press.

It is still unclear as to the involvement of Interpol. Meik Gauer, a spokesman for the federal police in Berlin told the Guardian: “All countries that put out an international arrest warrant that is also valid in Germany go via the Bundeskriminalamt (federal criminal police office)

“The BKA then puts the arrest warrant into its system, so that the federal police at the border control also has access to it. Our contact is not Interpol, but the BKA….I don’t know if Interpol had anything to do with it.”
