Once one of the world's richest men, Brazilian entrepreneur Eike Batista was out of jail Sunday after having been detained for violating terms of his house arrest, prison officials said.

"He went out Saturday night," a prisons spokesperson told AFP.

Appeals Court judge Simone Schreiber ruled earlier Saturday that the detention of the magnate once considered Brazil's richest man "violated the Constitution... and the principle of presumption of innocence."
