Overview
- Police say the 25-year-old, under formal investigation for rape and related violence, escaped on March 13 near the Bar-le-Duc jail while being returned from a hearing in Nancy.
- CCTV reviewed by the prosecutor shows his right wrist was no longer cuffed when he exited the escort vehicle and fled on foot.
- Three escorting prison officers were suspended immediately as an internal inquiry examines potential negligence and failures to follow protocol.
- A European arrest warrant was issued during the manhunt, and he was placed in police custody for escape after Wednesday’s arrest in Vincey (Vosges).
- The Nancy organized-crime unit and local police continue the case, victim protection measures remain in effect, and investigators are checking for possible accomplices.
