Braian Paiz, one of the two men charged in Liam Payne’s death case, was released from prison and stayed at home.
The waiter has been in jail since January after being accused of giving cocaine to the former One Direction singer before his death.
A higher court later agreed to let him go home after his lawyers said his health took a major turn and his family situation worsened.
But the court ordered Braian to stay inside his home and wear an electronic ankle monitor.
Earlier, judges refused to release him as prosecutors argued he could run away if released.
This time, the appeals judges decided that strict surveillance is enough while the case continued, which prosecutors did not comment on.
The key suspect admitted using drugs with the No Tears hitmaker at a hotel in Buenos Aires but denied selling anything and claimed he was wrongly blamed.
While in prison, Braian said he was mistreated by other comrades and said he was beaten, scalded with hot water and threatened.
He also said that the prisoners called him “murderer” and made him fear for his life.
Furthermore, Braian was later moved to a special LGBT prison area with better conditions.
The servant’s mother said the case caused severe financial problems for the family and forced her to sell her business and move into a poorer home.
For the uninitiated, the other accused man, former hotel worker Ezequiel David Pereyra, went to prison.
It was unclear whether he would also ask for house arrest.
Both men still face trial and could face lengthy prison sentences if convicted.
