BASLE (JTA) — Joseph Ben-
Gal, the alleged "secret agent"
for Israel, under arrest here
since March 2 on a charge of
having threatened the daughter
of a German scientist at work
on the Egyptian program for de-
velopment of non - conventional
weapons aimed at Israel, was re-
leased on bail here May 12.
A statement issued by the
president of the Basle Criminal
Court declared: "Israeli citizen
Joseph Ben-Gal, detained on
charges of coercion, was re-
leased on bail and certain other
conditions, while awaiting his
trial,.to begin June 10."
Neither the prosecutor here,
nor Dr. George Brunschwig, Ben-
Gal's attorney, would reveal the
nature of the "certain condi-
tions." Brunschwig's only com-
ment in reply to a question by
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
was:, "The bail set. for Ben-Gal
is perfectly normal for the case,
and is not excessive by any
means."
Brunschwig had applied for
Ben-Gal's release on bail over
the weekend, after the Swiss
government had announced it
had refused to permit his extra-
dition to West Germany to
establish whether he had partici-
pated in threatening the life of
another German scientist em-
ployed on the Nasser armament
program.
As soon as Ben-Gal was re-
leased, he called on the chief
prosecutor of the Swiss canton
where he was detained, thanking
the official for the treatment he
had received in jail. It was
learned that he had been spir-
ited out of jail through a side
door. Both Swiss authorities here
and official Israeli sources said
they do not know where he is
