The man - named as Faycal Cheffou - was arrested on Saturday but earlier today police appeared to step up their probe for the third bomber by putting out moving footage of the trio.
Now authorities have confirmed the suspect has been released due to a lack of evidence.


It means police are still looking to identify the suspect dressed in white, who was seen calmly pushing his luggage through the departure lounge at Brussels Airport.

Just moments after this footage, his two companions detonated two huge suicide bombs, killing 15 people and injuring dozens more.
The man on the right, wearing a black, bucket-style hat, glasses and with a goatee beard, had already fled.

Police say he brought the largest of the three 'suitcase bombs' to Zaventem Airport but apparently lost his nerve to detonate it.

His partners in crime, Najim Laachraoui and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, did not, and killed 15 people in the departures hall.
It comes as the death toll from last Tuesday's bombings rose to 35.

Following the backlash that trailed her performance at Shatta Wale's Reign Concert over the weekend, Ghanaian singer,  Fantana  has now released a statement.  The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
