The only suspect charged over last week's Brussels attacks has been released due to a lack of evidence, Belgian prosecutors say.
Faycal Cheffou, an independent journalist, was widely reported to be the third individual in CCTV footage of suspects at Brussels airport.
But a prosecutor's statement read: "The indications that led to the arrest of Faycal C were not substantiated by the ongoing inquiry.
"As a result, the subject has been released by the examining magistrate."
Earlier on Monday, police had issued an appeal for witnesses, saying they were seeking to identify the man caught on CCTV at the airport.
