Catalan Police Hunt Inmate Who Escaped Quatre Camins During Scheduled Outing

The search follows a separate prison escape last week during a hospital transfer in Girona.

Overview

  • A 41-year-old Spanish prisoner fled around 9:15 a.m. after saying he felt unwell during preparations for an external visit.
  • He exited the transport at the prison entrance and got into a car that was waiting outside, according to regional reports confirmed by ACN.
  • The inmate was slated to join a supervised visit to Granollers with two educators and other prisoners.
  • Mossos d'Esquadra have launched an active manhunt and have not reported an arrest.
  • The escapee has multiple prior incarcerations since 2004, mainly for theft, violent robbery, and vehicle theft.
