After an international arrest warrant was issued, he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012 until he was detained by British authorities in 2019. He spent the last five years in a maximum security prison in the British capital. He was released on Tuesday but still had to travel through the Mariana Islands, where he pleaded guilty in a US court to espionage charges. Since his sentence was consistent with the length of his imprisonment, he was released.
