Australian man Adam Whittington granted bail over kidnapping charges in Lebanon

Australian man Adam Whittington has been granted bail in Lebanon after he was arrested over alleged kidnapping charges in April.

Mr Whittington, a dual British-Australian, was charged alongside two of his colleagues after allegedly trying to kidnap Brisbane mum Sally Faulkner’s five-year-old daughter Lahela and three-year-old son Noah.

Ms Faulkner claimed the children had been taken to Beirut by their father and her estranged partner, Ali Elamine.

60 Minutes crew members in Beirut covering the story were also arrested but later released.

“We can now advise that Adam has finally been granted bail and is now able to return home,” a post on a Facebook group supporting Mr Whittington read.
