MADRID, Spain - The German prison inmate said despite his incarceration, he and his girlfriend are sticking together.

"They will remain there until they can be separated and will then have to appear before a judge to make statements. They cannot appear in court together," said Raquel Navarro, a spokeswoman for Spain's Penitentiary Institutions.
Navarro said she didn't know what type of glue was used.
Krone, 39, was being held in a Madrid prison pending possible extradition to Germany, where he is accused in a case involving the trafficking of prostitutes.T
