Jailed in grim New York City lockups last year after U.S. authorities
seized him en route to a family vacation at Disney World, he is no
longer behind bars there. Last week, the inmate registry for the U.S.
Bureau of Prisons suddenly said Zarrab had been released. Two people
familiar with the case said Zarrab remains in U.S. custody but not in a
federal jail. That sometimes happens when a defendant has agreed to
serve as a government witness. A lawyer for Zarrab’s accused accomplice
has said Zarrab is no longer participating in the defense. Prosecutors
and Zarrab’s lawyers have declined to comment.

Mueller is reportedly looking at a December meeting blocks from Trump
Tower where Michael Flynn—shortly before Trump became president and
named him national security adviser—was reportedly offered upward of $15
million if he could help Turkey win the extradition of cleric Fethullah
Gülen as well as the release of gold trader Reza Zarrab.
