Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-10) released the following statement:

“I am thrilled by the reports that Jacob Ostreicher, my constituent, who has been illegally detained in a Bolivian prison for two years, is finally free. He has suffered greatly and his family has worked tirelessly for his freedom. I am overjoyed at the idea that they will soon be together. Mr. Ostreicher was the victim of a horrible miscarriage of justice and endemic corruption within the Bolivian justice system.”
