Ben Roberts-Smith granted bail
Victoria Cross recipient and alleged war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith has been granted release on bail. The 47-year-old former SAS soldier was sensationally arrested on April 7 and charged with murdering five unarmed detainees while deployed in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012.
He made a successful application for bail at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Friday. He is expected to return to court on June 4 after paying $250,000 and has been required to surrender his passport. #bail #crime #court #breakingnews
