John McAfee to be released from Guatemalan jail, his lawyer says

Guerra said he expects his client to be released by Thursday or Friday, and believes he will seek to return to the United States immediately. McAfee had expressed a desire to return to the U.S. in a live video stream over the weekend, saying he wished to spend his “declining years” in peace.
“It’s a victory because the government wanted to send him back to Belize,” said Guerra in a phone interview. “With this kind of resolution, they cannot do it.”
Guerra said that according to Guatemalan law, someone entering illegally has the right to 10 days to establish immigration status. “There is no crime in coming without any visa. If there’s not any crime, the immigration office has to release him.”
He was arrested last week after officials said he’d entered the country illegally, in an attempt to dodge Belize police who named him a “person of interest” in the fatal shooting of his neighbor, American businessman Gregory Faull. McAfee has become something of a self-styled fugitive (no warrant has been issued against him in Belize) ever since Faull was found face-up in a pool of blood in November.
