A German man jailed on charges of attempting to smuggle an alleged antique piece of stone out of Antalya, Turkey has been released from prison pending trial.

The man - who has spent about one month in prison - was detained at the airport in the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya last month after the piece of stone was found in the bag of his nine-year-old son. The man, who had travelled to Antalya with his wife and two sons for a vacation, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

He is now free to leave the country, and is not expected to attend the next trial hearing, scheduled for 31 October 2003, reported The Associated Press.
