After serving only 10 years of his 20\-year imprisonment, Patek was granted an early release for "good behaviour" in August 2022 as part of [Indonesia’s Independence Day](/wiki/Independence_Day_%28Indonesia%29 "Independence Day (Indonesia)") celebrations, causing much anger in Australia. The actual release date was not confirmed, but Indonesian authorities claimed he has been deradicalized. An Australian survivor who helped rescue injured people from the blast zone, Erik de Haart, expressed outrage on the Australian TV show *[Sunrise](/wiki/Sunrise_%28Australian_TV_program%29 "Sunrise (Australian TV program)")*, reiterating Patek's role in making the explosives used in the attack.

Patek is currently living in [East Java](/wiki/East_Java "East Java") as of 2023\.
