Romain Sato released by prosecutor, returning to Istanbul

Romain Sato has been released by the Kranj, Slovenia prosecutors office after being questioned about irregularities on his passport. The police stated that the numbers didn’t match up and that there were stamps on the passport from countries he’s never been to. At this time there’s been no statement as to the proof/evidence that the passport is fake, just that the Slovenians won’t accept it and they’ve sent the Fenerbahce Ulker swingman home, just hours before the squad’s Euroleague match up with BC Union Olimpija Ljubljana. Reportedly he possesses the same passport he’s had since 2005, issued by his native country, Central African Republic, and has traveled to the US and all over Europe with until now.

It was earlier stated that he spent the night in jail, when in fact he was detained at the airport and reportedly slept in a chair in an office as he was too tired from the day’s activities to stay awake any longer.
