Canadian Cody LeCompte will soon be allowed to return home, after being held in Cuba since April.
The 19-year-old has been trapped at his Cuban resort, as police investigated a car crash he was involved in.
Accommodation was reached with the Cuban government on Tuesday, with LaCompte's family posting $2200 bail, and a confirmation that if Cuba required LeCompte to return at some future date to address the accident he would comply.
The meeting came after comments made in Ottawa by the Minister of State of Foreign Affairs Peter Kent, hinting that holding a Canadian for this long could have repercussions on Canadians deciding on Cuba as a vacation destination.
