Suspects escape attempt come from France Interior

Two well-entered sources report this. The lawyers Jan Vlug and Jan-Hein Kuijpers who assist two of the four “deny nor confirm” the nationality of the men. Due to the limitations of the investigation, they cannot comment on details.

At least one of the men would come from the Paris area. They were arrested yesterday afternoon after police tried to ram the prison gate with a delivery van. It is striking that a Frenchman was also involved in an earlier, also thwarted, escape attempt in a jail in Limburg in 2017. He was shot during the flight.

The man to be freed in Zutphen is Omar L., who was sentenced to life imprisonment. He belonged to gangster Benaouf A. The attempted escape in 2017 in Limburg attempted to free him.
