His return comes on the same day as reports that an Australian Federal Police investigation into his alleged war crimes had collapsed.
The decision by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions not to prosecute Roberts-Smith based on evidence colleted by the AFP probe has led to a new joint taskforce being set up to investigate alleged executions.
The taskforce comprises detectives from the specialist war crimes agency, the Office of the Special Investigator, and a new team of federal police investigators not connected to the abandoned AFP probe.
