London – After nearly ten months in custody, high‑profile socialite Bryan White was released on bail on Tuesday following a magistrate’s decision that his continued detention was unlawful. White had been held on remand for alleged fraud and money‑laundering offences but had not been formally committed to trial. The court cited the length of his pre‑trial detention and the lack of a clear prosecution timeline as reasons for granting bail. White’s legal team hailed the ruling as a “vindication of the presumption of innocence,” while prosecutors said they would seek to expedite the pending charges. The bail conditions include a £50,000 cash surety, a curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., and a prohibition on contacting any alleged co‑defendants.
