The Irish Independent has learnt that, even if the Jordanian authorities fully co-operate with the Irish investigation, gardaí will not be able to directly interview him.
He will have his detention reviewed by a Jordanian judge next week – as Irish authorities insisted the detention in the Middle Eastern country was not at their request.
