{Nyarugenge Intermediate Court ordered, Monday, a temporary release of Alain Ndibwami after weeks of detention at the Central Prison of Kigali}
The court decision is motivated by the fact that there is no compelling reason that would keep him in custody.
In addition, the prosecution said it is still looking for evidences to support the charges.
Alain Ndibwami, a Kigali lawyer who has been representing the interests of the South Africa-based Mr Rujugiro, told the Nyarugenge Intermediate Court during his bail appeal hearing on Tuesday that he would let go of his legal power to defend the tycoon if that will guarantee him his own freedom.
It is alleged that Mr Ndibwami used forged documents in a court case and, according to the Penal Code, he faced up to seven years imprisonment on top of heavy fines if found guilty.
