Base jumper who got stuck on side of Auckland hotel appears in court

Ilies Nait El Cadi, a 22-year-old from Belgium, is alleged to have jumped from a hotel on Albert St and the partially built Seascape skyscraper downtown.

He faces two charges of burglary.

Appearing at the Auckland District Court on Tuesday, he did not enter a plea.

Judge Nicola Mathers remanded him on bail after granting a two-day adjournment for him to take part in mediation.

He did not seek name suppression.

In the meantime, he was on a nighttime curfew and not allowed to post on social media or possess parachute equipment.

Police earlier claimed Nait El Cadi's rescue, which involved smashing a large window, caused more than $20,000 in damage.
