The underworld figure started the day with a brisk walk in the park with his loved ones.
While flanked by his family, Mokbel briefly spoke to 9News for the first time since his release.
Mokbel will be living under heavy restrictions while on release, with 30 bail conditions.
Asked in court whether he would abide by the conditions, Mokbel said “I swear, yes Your Honour.”
He must report to police daily and cannot leave home between the hours of 8pm and 6am.
Mokbel must wear a GPS monitoring device for 12 months, at his own expense, and within 12 hours of his bail being granted must obtain a non-smartphone mobile which has to be approved by police with the phone number, PIN code or password provided to them.
Use of encrypted devices or software to communicate, including Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp and Snapchat is also banned for Mokbel and he cannot communicate with anyone overseas.
He must not leave metropolitan Melbourne or come within two kilometres of any port or airport.
The restrictions come after Mokbel skipped bail and fled to Greece in 2006 while on trial for a cocaine trafficking offence.
He was sentenced to 12 years’ jail in absentia but has since been acquitted on appeal.
His final drug trafficking convictions will be the subject of his final appeal, later this year.
The judges on Friday said he has a “strong case” to overturn those convictions, given the concealment of his former lawyer as a police informer.
