Yet another fish story?
According to his wife last week, the German fisherman who was caught in the Straits of Hormuz last November (he didn’t have a fishing license, I guess) was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
But now an Iranian government official says no, that’s not true yet, trust me, and the guy’s lawyer still hasn’t heard anything and the German Foreign Ministry erst recht nicht (they know absolutely nothing, of course) and now the case has become " mysterious ".
Mysterious, in this case, means that they haven’t quite agreed upon the price.
But it doesn’t always have to be money, you know. Maybe Germany can bring itself to lighten up a little bit with their recent “tough” talk about the coming Iranian atomic threat. Oh, they have already? Maybe Germany can force itself to come out publicly again for a negotiated settlement on this issue and take some pressure off Tehehran. Oh, they’ve already done that too, you say?
Well, then there’s certainly nothing mysterious about any of this. That’s straight up. This guy will be back home fishing in the Pfalz in no time.
Dieser Fisch war sooo groß!
