Magneto spends the better part of the X-Men trilogy trying to exterminate all human life on earth, being imprisoned and subsequently killing his way out. Afterwards, why was he left free to roam sunny parks playing chess against himself? Is it because he is (temporarily?) powerless, and so he is now acquitted?
Answer
I assume that because he no longer has powers (and is no longer a mutant) they see him as no threat. The main idea of prison is to rehabilitate criminals so they can be released back into society safely. Magneto losing his powers was his rehabilitation as such.
I assume the authorities think that Magneto's power loss is permanent so he will no longer want mutants to take over the world and it's safe to have him in society.
It's like losing his powers is punishment enough for all the crimes he committed. At the end of the day it is Marvel so they mightn't want to appear to punish Magneto even further.
