NEW: I can finally report that the GTA6 hacker Arion Kurtaj is out of the secure hospital he was sent to and now in a normal prison awaiting retrial. Kurtaj was a key member of the teen hacking gang Lapsus$ and was given an indefinite hospital order due to his severe autism diagnosis. When he was sentenced in December 2023 the court heard that he will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger. But he is now out and will face a conventional criminal trial in November. I have been trying to get this information confirmed with police for weeks after. images of Kurtaj apparently posting on Snapchat from prison began circulating online. But the police could not confirm it and there were reporting restrictions placed on the news. Today, after my request, the High Court judge lifted reporting restrictions.
