Ben Roberts-Smith Granted Bail

Roberts-Smith is accused of the murder of five unarmed prisoners during his time with the SAS more than a decade ago.

The bail conditions are strict, including travel restrictions and a warning that he will be 'swiftly arrested' if any breaches occur.

Prosecutors had opposed his release, arguing he posed a flight risk and could interfere with witnesses.

The case continues to polarize the Australian public and has brought renewed scrutiny to the conduct of special forces in conflict zones.
