A 20-year-old young man imprisoned in the Madrid II penitentiary center, better known as ‘Alcalá Meco’, escaped from the place on Saturday afternoon supposedly mixed in with relatives who have just visited him for Christmas, Prison sources have confirmed to Europa Press.

The escapee is called Yusef ML, who is nicknamed ‘Pastilla’, a young man from Ceuta, 20 years old, who confessed to the murder in April in Cádiz of Nayim KA, alias ‘Tayena’, head of one of the factions of organized crime in the autonomous city. He is also charged with the murder of a 26-year-old man whom the gang mistook for a member of a rival group.

The National Police arrested Yuseff at the end of May in the port of Algeciras and was provisionally imprisoned in the jail of this Cadiz city. He was classified as level five in the File of Special Monitoring Inmates (FIES) of Penitentiary Institutions.

Due to his conflict with a group of inmates from that prison, he was transferred to Alcalá Meco at the beginning of this month of December. On Saturday afternoon he escaped “just after communicating with relatives,” reported the newspaper ‘El Faro de Ceuta’. That is to say, he allegedly managed to skip security checks and mix among said relatives to flee without violence or intimidation.

Sources from Penitentiary Institutions have explained to Europa Press that on the same afternoon of the 23rd they detected the absence of this inmate, so they activated the protocols consisting of communicating what happened to the Security Forces and Bodies, to the Court that is handling the prisoner’s case and they have initiated an internal procedure to find out what went wrong.
