They just photographed military equipment. And it happens that Greece is one country where taking pictures of military equipment or camps is forbidden. In the past there had been incidents where someone sneaked inside a camp and got out with equipment like G3 assault rifles or a Leopard 2 battle tank. Since then security measures are high and authorities are very suspicious.

Well finally! Geeze, I hope once they pay their bail and get back to their country, they'll give Greece the ol' finger whenever they try to pass some legal bullcrap their way. I wonder if there going to go back to their old jobs at Bohemia?
Once they returned home, Greece basically forfeited personal jurisdiction on those two. Meaning, they could try to extradite them, I'm unsure if the Czech Republic has an extradition treaty with Greece, but given the politicization of the case, it's unlikely they'll stand trial, assuming they never go anywhere that actually has an extradition treaty with Greece.

If I could I would give them both a hug and tell them straight to their face that most everyone was on their side the whole time. I bet after a week with their families they will be itching to get back to their passion.

Great, this whole mess went on for far too long. Honestly if anything this casts Greece is more a bad light then anything, which I imagine is the main reason they released him

That is good, I am glad they are both released finally. I still find it silly that I share a last name with one of them.

So, naturally, to make up for the case where somebody got away with something that should have been extremely obvious to protect against like theft of large firearms and materiel, they instead aim for the slightest suspicion on the thinnest justification to show that they know exactly what they're doing.
