Germany Drops Arrest Warrant for Sea Shepherd Founder

[AgingAmerican]

Some of the legal pressure has lifted off Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founder Captain Paul Watson who is at sea aboard his flagship vessel the Steve Irwin. Germany has dropped an arrest warrant for Watson that was originally issued last year at the request of Costa Rica.

“Good news from Germany,” said Watson today in a Facebook posting. “The German court has withdrawn their arrest warrant for me citing failure from Costa Rica to cooperate in answering their questions concerning my case. I guess the Costa Ricans failed to get their instructions from Japan in time. I am no longer wanted in Germany.”

Watson said Costa Rica had not met a February 27 deadline set by the German court to explain why there was a warrant for his arrest
