From what I recall of the story he was being held on bogus charges He admitted setting the fire that killed someone. He set the fire, now he should do the time.
American nurse Ted Maher, right, talks with his American lawyer Michael Griffith at Monaco's courthouse Thursday Nov. 28, 2002, during his trial for the arson death of his billionaire employer Edmond Safra on Dec. 3, 1999. Authorities are seeking life in prison for Maher, who claims he never expected the fire he started in a small wastebasket in Safra's luxury Monaco penthouse to rage out of control and kill Safra and another nurse.

Ted Maher, not publicly recanting his confession in front of the press. Ted Maher, not shouting to the cameraman, "I was set up! The confession is a fake!" Ted Maher, the only member of the Maher family to not renounce the confession.
Again .. I didn't know all the details of the case and I wasn't aware that he admitted to starting the fire ..
I just heard of his name and that some believed he was being held wrongly without a trial .. I didn't know he finally got a trial till this thread
