Fredrik Neij, the the last of the founders to serve time after the Pirate Bay trial, was released yesterday from a Swedish lockup.

Torrentfreak reports:

Neij, one of The Pirate Bay’s co-founders, was a key operator of the torrent site during its early years.

In 2012 Fredrik received a 10-month prison sentence for his involvement with the notorious site, which he initially avoided.

Last November he was eventually arrested by Thai immigration authorities and later transferred to a prison in Skänninge, Sweden.

Today, Fredrik’s jail term ended and a few hours ago he was released from prison. After serving two-thirds of his ten month prison sentence the 37-year-old was reunited with family and friends.
