Serial Jailbreaker Escapes For Fourth Time
Michael Schofield would be proud of this prisoner. The self-styled "escape king", Nordin Benallal, has escaped from Belgian prisons no fewer than four times.
His methods of escape so far have been running from a prison van, walking out of jail wearing a wig and sunglasses, scaling the prison wall with a rope ladder and for his fourth, and most audacious escape, his armed accomplices landed in the prison grounds in a hijacked helicopter.
The helicopter crashed on landing but Benallal and his cohorts briefly seized two prison warders as hostages and fled in a car parked nearby.
Well as a belgian resident you can understand how proud i am (yeah right). But his second escape was not with a wig and sunglasses. He escaped by changing his clothes with those of his 17 year old visiting brother. His brother was released after questioning. Benallal is only 1m63 so he could have been mistaken by his brother more easy.

Sad, so sad. And to think that ben allal's sister believes he is innocent. She actually thinks he's a sweet guy who has some bad friends. Come on, get real. And now sh fears that police will shoot him at sight and act like it's self defence. I hope they do and dispay his corpse in public. I'd pay a dollar to see that. I will even go to the exchange office to get a dollar bill.

Well, he's run is over. He has been capyured. Nordin was captured by dutch police on tuesday after a highspeed chase following a hold-up he did with a second person. It will just be a matter oftime before he's in our hands again. Hope the guards beat him to a bloody stomp.

Zidmoe/b, are you really gonna judge me for saying a guy who shot 2 cops should be beaten? Do you really believe Nordin will ever change and be a nice guy. Or do you really believe he's innocent? I'm not lowering myself, you are. You really believe we should give a guy who has robbed 50 stores/bankes a new chance? His fifth??? Get real, and see that he's a real danger and so is his family for supporting him. He had no outside contact his sister stated, but he could tell her that he couldn't finish his education n prison due to his transfer to this max. Security prison. If you ask me, his family keeps arranging his escapes.

i never said he shouldn't be locked up & or the key shouldn't be thrown away / but i would never ever start playing "people's tribunal". never.
decency, that's what it's about : he does not deserve it, but i'll always keep my dignity with this kind of person(s) - as i'll do with you
"schnappie" ?
