Kuruharan quite right,

"'The treacherous are ever distrustful,' answered Gandalf wearily. 'But you need not fear for your skin. I do not wish to kill you, or hurt you, as you would know, if you really understood me. And I have the power to protect you. I am giving you a last chance. You can leave Orthanc, free – if you choose.'" - (The Voice of Saruman, Book III The Two Towers)

I was unlooking during my first post. As Gandalf entertains the idea of letting him free here, then had they taken action against him earlier I would say that the same would have applied.
