Ilaria Salis left the maximum security prison in Gyorskocsi utca in Budapest in the morning where she had been locked up for over 15 months and was transferred to her home where she will serve the precautionary measure of house arrest awaiting the end of her trial.
Ilaria Salis was arrested on 11 February 2023 together with two German anti-fascists and was taken to prison on charges of having participated in two attacks against three far-right militants and of being part of a criminal association. On May 15, a second level commission of the Budapest court accepted the appeal presented by her lawyers and granted her detention under house arrest with an electronic bracelet and upon payment of a bail of 40 thousand euros. After a few days of waiting, the bank transfer, which left Italy last week, arrived and Ilaria Salis was released from prison. The third hearing in the trial against her is scheduled for May 24th.
