Simon Harris, the tánaiste (deputy prime minister) of Ireland - where the Pether family lives - said in a statement to media that Iraq's Foreign Minister had called him to confirm the "welcome news"."[This] has been a long and distressing saga for Robert's wife, three children and his wider family and friends," Harris said."I welcomed this as a first step to his being allowed to return to his family in Roscommon."

He added that he remained concerned about Mr Pether's health and any outstanding charges against him - which are unclear.The BBC has contacted the Australian government for comment.

Mr Pether worked in the Middle East for almost a decade before taking on a huge rebuild of the Central Bank of Iraq's Baghdad headquarters in 2015.

He was arrested alongside his CME Consulting colleague, Egyptian Khalid Radwan, after the bank accused the men of stealing money from the project."It'd be impossible!" Alexander laughed.

In 2024, Alexander finished in 18th place at Eurovision with his track Dizzy, in a tricky year for the contest which wassurrounding Israel's participation.
