Escaped Moroccan Prisoner Caught After Boasting on Facebook Live in Melilla

The Guardia civil elements in Melilla managed to catch a fugitive, 24 hours after his escape from prison. The man had appeared in a live on Facebook where he boasted in public of his exploit.
It is the most grotesque escape in the history of the prison of the Spanish enclave, wrote the local press, which did not fail to ridicule the prisoner for his naivety and his credulous spirit.
After leaving the prison walls, the man gathered his relatives and friends in the famous Moroccan neighborhood, Rastro. The height of stupidity, continues the same source, the fugitive filmed himself live while recounting his adventure, denigrating the prison guards and the authorities of the enclave.
Meanwhile, plainclothes police officers discreetly mingled with the crowd. The individual, who suspected nothing, continued in his momentum by launching "I went out to visit my mother and eat the tagine with her".
Serving a sentence for theft and vandalism offenses, the fugitive was taken back to prison, after a visit to the police station for the purposes of the investigation.
