The prisoner who escaped last Christmas Eve from the Alcalá Meco prison
Yusef Mohamed Lehrech,
known as
El Pastilla,
has been detained at a train station in the German city of
Leipzig
, as reported by the National Police.
Investigators from the Fugitive Location Section of the National Police had an investigation open through the ENFAST Network that placed him in German territory.
El Pastilla
left on his own accord thanks to a concatenation of at least four errors
in the security protocols of this Madrid prison last Christmas Eve.
This Ceutí, born in 2003,
was cataloged within the File of Special Monitoring Inmates in category number five (
FIES 5 regime
), reserved for those inmates with a prison history of high conflict, escapes or serious violence.
This is a criminal considered very dangerous, responsible for at least two homicides: that of
a young man whom he allegedly killed by mistake when he mistook him
for a member of a rival gang
and that of his former boss
, motivated by revenge when he felt mistreated, according to the story of a former prisoner companion.
He was awaiting trial when he escaped from prison.
The escape occurred during
the visits on December 24
.
El Pastilla
took advantage of the hustle and bustle of the day
to leave the penitentiary center camouflaged among the prisoners' relatives when they left the penitentiary facility.
