All the more reason to confine him. He'll likely be subjected to some tests and interrogation to check how far the alteration goes, and whether he's truly free from any jutsu. He was also part of a gang, so a vital source of information. Yeah,that was what I was implying. Ryogi did what he did, not because he was controlled by some genjutsu(which is not the case) but because he did what he did, of his own intentions, from what he took as real. Basically a subtle MS Sasuke with a Tobi's version of Itachi's story.

His intentions were always to steal from rich(But supposedly not corrupt or evil) people who did nothing to him, to help the needy. Even if he heard the truth, I doubt his veiwpoint of doing crime for a good reason be changed that fast, after all, even under Gekko's manipulation, his intentions were to help the needy by any means possible, even if to steal dangerous intel that could help any evil guy, wanting more power.

So, yeah, after probably getting all the intel from him and examining every detail about his jutsu, they'll probably send him to a quick leaf style talk no jutsu therapy session, where he'll understand the falws to his ideals. Doesn't Sakura and Ino do that?
