Mohamed Amra's Arrest Leads to Detention of Nine Suspected Accomplices

The individuals are accused of aiding the drug trafficker's violent 2024 prison escape and subsequent flight across Europe.

Mohamed Amra, a notorious drug trafficker, was arrested in Romania and transferred to a high-security prison in France earlier this week.
Nine suspected accomplices have been placed in provisional detention, while two others remain under judicial control following their initial hearings.
The suspects are accused of involvement in Amra's May 2024 escape, which resulted in the deaths of two prison officers and injuries to three others.
Authorities have identified 28 individuals in connection with the case, with arrests spanning France, Morocco, and Spain; extradition processes are underway for some suspects.
Investigators have linked several suspects to the Black Mafia Family, a Normandy-based criminal organization specializing in drug trafficking.
