I read in The Times today that journalists could hear his screams from another room, whilst the press conference was going on. The same article states that he faces up to 15 years in jail.
On the other hand it stated that a saudi businessman has offered $10 million for one of the shoes. Also the Turkish firm that makes the shoes now has 300,000 advance orders as there is a demand in the Muslim world now for a pair of identical shoes
The Times also reported that Lebanese television channel NTV, went as far as offering a job to the journalist. In its evening news bulletin on Monday, it said that if he takes the job he will be paid “from the moment the first shoe was thrown”.
