Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with murdering George Floyd, was released from a correctional facility after posting bail of $ 1 million (approximately R16 million), according to court records.
Chauvin is charged with second- and third-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis by kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Videos of the incident sparked protests across the country over police brutality and racism.
Chauvin’s unconditional bail had been set at $ 1.25 million, or $ 1 million with conditions.
He was released under conditions, according to a document filed with the Hennepin County District Court by the county sheriff. Court records show that Chauvin posted a non-cash bond guaranteed by the Allegheny Casualty Company.
Conditions that had been set at his bond hearing included a ban on working in law enforcement and contact with Floyd’s family. Chauvin must also surrender any firearms licenses or permits.
