Brian Keller was released from custody on Tuesday. He had been in custody since he was extradited from Germany to Switzerland at the beginning of September.

A spokesperson for the Zurich public prosecutor's office confirmed a corresponding report by the "Blick" newspaper at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency. Keller was released on Tuesday morning subject to conditions.

The conditions for the 29-year-old include psychological therapy and social therapy. In addition, there is a ban on contact and socializing with his adversary "Skorp808" and an extensive restriction on the use of social media.

However, it is unlikely that Keller will meet his rival "Skorp808" in freedom any time soon: according to the public prosecutor's office, he is still in custody.

The public prosecutor's office has been conducting criminal proceedings against Keller since January on suspicion of public incitement to commit crimes or violence. Further incidents occurred over the course of the year and are being investigated. In August, Keller fled to Germany, where he was arrested on August 10.
