It's "recognizance", and it means that you seem trustworthy enough to show up in court and not high tail it out of town.

Reconnaissance Meaning
2016-09-30 13:13:32 · answer #2 · answered by lesiak 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Here is the passage:
"Italy's national police force, arrested Medici, whom they described as "the real 'mastermind' of much of [Italy's] illegal traffic in archaeological objects." Medici claims that he acquired all of the artifacts legally and that he is not the "monster" he has been portrayed as. He also claims that the search was conducted without his presence or that of a representative of Editions Services, and that the police did not find documents, now missing, that would have shown the legal provenience of the artifacts. He is believed to have been released on his own reconnaissance, and to date he has not been charged with anything"
'Recconnaisance' means an activityof getting information about an areafor military purposes..
The phrase 'released on his own recconnaisance' means he has been released according to his own information justifying his activity as it can't be verified.
Hope it s clear.

The person is released without having to post bail because he has ties to the community and is not a flight risk. It's like he's released based on his previous reputation.

to be released under one's own regonizance means to be released from jail without having to bay bail but with the obligation to return to court to stand trial.

It means no bond was set, so there will be no bail hearing. He is free to go as long as he appears in court on the day scheduled. If he doesn't appear then a warrant will be issued for his arrest.

The expression is "released on his/her own recognizance" and it means under their own supervision, i.e. not chaperoned, not having to report to a parole officer.
