Nepal's Supreme Court ordered Sobhraj's release Wednesday. 19 years ago, it was a chance encounter with 'bikini killer' at casino that led journalist Joseph Nathan to ultimate scoop.
Sobhraj, 78, is thought to have committed at least 20 murders, including 14 in Thailand in the 1970s. He served 21 years in India and was in a Kathmandu jail since 2003.
Initial talks held on the possibility of India entering the programme that was started in 2017 between France, Germany and Spain to ensure European sovereignty in defence and security.
