'Kidnapped' property developer Kevin McGeever released
An Irish property developer who was arrested in connection with his own alleged abduction has been released without charge.
Kevin McGeever, 68, was found wandering on a country road near Ballinamore, County Leitrim in January eight months after he disappeared.
He was arrested on suspicion of wasting police time.
Gardai said their investigation had ended and a file would be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mr McGeever was arrested at his home in Craughwell, County Galway, on Thursday and held under Section Four of the Criminal Justice Act 1994, which contains provisions for wasting Garda (police) time and making false allegations.
Mr McGeever had been reported missing by his partner last June.
He had lost about five stone when found in January and claimed he had been abducted at gunpoint from his gated mansion on 17 May 2012.
Mr McGeever told the couple who found him he did not know what county he was in, what day it was, or what month it was.
He told the couple that some men had dropped him off in a van and he had been in the van for a long time.
