Moroccan Fugitive Sentenced: 3 Years for Daring Prison Break and Cross-Border Escape

The inmate, Jalal Nemma, had not returned to the Moulins prison after being granted a day release to attend a training session.

Following his escape, he had contacted a young woman he had met online, with whom he had lunch before being driven to Lyon. He then disappeared, no longer giving any news except for insults and a single phone call during which he claimed to be in Morocco.

This conviction for escape adds to a criminal record that already includes sentences for aggravated theft, receiving stolen goods, criminal conspiracy, and organized gang violence in the context of drug trafficking.
