He has been transferred to a regular prison, and a criminal trial is scheduled for November. The order was originally imposed in 2023 due to concerns over his skills and intent to return to cybercrime.","whyItMatters":"The lifting of the indefinite order moves the case from a medical detention to a standard criminal process, putting Kurtaj on track for a trial that could produce a fixed sentence.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eArion Kurtaj, the Lapsus$ hacker who leaked Grand Theft Auto VI footage in September 2022, is no longer under an indefinite hospitalization order. The High Court has lifted the order, and he has been transferred to a regular prison. A criminal trial is now scheduled for November. The original order, issued in December 2023, was based on a doctor\u0026#39;s assessment that Kurtaj, who has severe autism, posed a high risk of reoffending-he had hacked Rockstar Games using a hotel TV while under police protection and repeatedly stated his intention to return to cybercrime. The order was effectively an open-ended detention. The shift to a regular trial means a judge will now determine a fixed sentence. The development follows the circulation of images apparently posted by Kurtaj on Snapchat, which prompted a BBC reporter to request a judge lift a reporting restriction on the case.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The indefinite hospitalization order for GTA6 leaker Arion Kurtaj has been lifted.
