The district prosecutor in Rhodes met today (Thursday) again with the lawyer of Dudi Ashkenazi, who is being held for the eighth day on the island of Kos.
At the meeting, lawyer Nir Jaslovitch was given documents that greatly strengthen the fact that Ashkenazi is not the man Interpol is looking for.
For example, it was clarified that the Uzbek passport, which allegedly belonged to an Ashkenazi, was forged by a person whose identity is known.
At the end of the meeting, lawyer Jaslowicz expressed optimism that the affair before it ended and thanked the Greek authorities for their cooperation and willingness to work together to expose the mistake.
In my uncle's recording, he says: "I have been sitting here for no wrong in the past week. I am a law-abiding citizen, I hope they will help me get out of here and return home, to my country, which I love the most in the world."

It will be recalled that Ashkenazi, a 52-year-old car appraiser from Bat Hefer, traveled with his wife on vacation to the Greek island of Kos and was arrested immediately upon landing on suspicion of making drug deals in 2007. Apparently there is an Israeli named Dudi Ashkenazi, who allegedly made a drug deal.
Yesterday, Yair Lapid spoke with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dandias about Ashkenazi's arrest, and asked him to act for his immediate release.
The Foreign Ministry continues to be in touch with the family and officials in Greece, and is trying to end the affair and bring Ashkenazi home.
They claim that the Greek authorities erred in their identification and arrested the wrong person.
Were we wrong?
