TheGamer • • technology
Key Points:
- Arion Kurtaj, the hacker responsible for the 2022 Rockstar GTA 6 leak, has been released from a secure hospital and transferred to a regular prison, where he will await a conventional criminal trial later this year.
- Kurtaj was initially given a life sentence and placed in a secure hospital due to a severe autism diagnosis and concerns over his violent behavior and threat to public safety.
- Despite being deemed fit to leave the hospital, Kurtaj remains in custody and is expected to face trial in November, coinciding with the anticipated release month of GTA 6.
- Kurtaj was part of the Lapsus$ hacking group and was assessed as highly motivated to return to cybercrime, which influenced his initial indefinite hospitalization.
- It remains uncertain what further sentencing or punishment Kurtaj might receive after his upcoming trial, considering he has already spent over two years in secure detention.
