I don't think we're disagreeing with each other at this point. He was only actually freed by the supreme court ruling that he could not be jailed until all appeals (of which there are many) were exhausted. Regime semiaberto is roughly equivalent to being allowed to go out under house arrest and wouldn't have changed his conditions much.
