Bernard Elksteine has been released from custody, just 36 hours after being arrested Friday night in a raid on an alleged illegal Rebound Table Tennis dojang.
Elksteine’s legal team successfully argued that as he is legally recorded as dead, he cannot be identified, a key step in registering a temporary prisoner. The Judge stated she had no choice but to release the prisoner immediately.
It has also transpired that while he was under arrest during Saturday, a bidder secured purchase of a Kirrillli apartment for Elksteine to return to upon release. The entrepreneur was able to effect the deal through an offshore company in an undisclosed country, where he is legally alive.
There are reports socialite Esmeralda Chocolatine was seen inspecting the apartment prior to auction, though these remain unsubstantiated.
More to come.
