The authorities estimate that this is a effort that had begun months ago.
The entrance of the tunnel that they had dug, the prisoners stood under a shower in a cell, who were detained two foreigners, Albanian and Pakistani origin, in ward A2. There detained, and the notorious villain ΑλκÎÏ„ Ριζάϊ.
The stakeholders involved in the escape attempt made the shower and digging to freedom.
However, the information of the tvstar.gr they say that a cellmate of them broke up the plans. Contacted by phone, with high-ranking person in the justice and told him exactly what’s going on in the prison.
He informed the address and immediately in the prison shop was set up business, were invited to enter the prison and officials were off duty.
The information was specific to the cell 18 of the A2 wing, where were kept two lifers. The correctional officers entered the cell and went to the shower. The prisoners had done a very good job, they would have made the shower without leaving any trace. Without it seems ,even with careful investigation, that the shower moves.
The prison knowing what was happening found that a section of the cement that was right next to the shower was different, softer.
They lifted the shower, they found the hole which had a diameter of about 50 points, and it seemed several feet deep.
Not having the equipment to go down to the gap, called in to help the 7th ESU.
A little later, a fireman entered the hole.
At a depth of 2 metres identified a small horizontal tunnel which was about two meters. For unknown reason the prisoners had fled and continued their quest deeper.
A little further down the fireman found a horizontal tunnel, approximately 6 meters, but this was abandoned.
The fireman came down even more low on 10 meters where over the vertical tunnel. There they found the tools they were using. A shovel and a dustpan.
From there, the prisoners had dug a large horizontal tunnel. This tunnel was very narrow and the fireman had not proceeded, however, the estimate is that over 35 meters.
They had electricity
All this work couldn’t be in the dark. Using different cables from electrical appliances downloaded in the tunnel electric current, and at intervals had placed lamps to see.
What they did to the soil
Inside the tunnel, found small bags with soil, and the assessment is that the prisoners took the ground that they made, in the basins of the toilets.
The horizontal tunnel was dug to the road that leads to the prison but to the fields, since obviously the would-be escapees were afraid that by the side of the road would be more easily noticed by the outside guards.
They took it over, but…
The two foreigners are being held in the specific cell they took up their escape attempt, confessing that they had opened the tunnel.
However, the authorities estimate that there was at least an accomplice, much smaller than them as the two aliens because of their volume couldn’t get to the last big tunnel. In prison he was found very quickly a strong force of police, while the company was in the presence of the prosecutor Lamia Nikita Θεολογίτη.
For the incident, issued a short announcement and the Ministry of Justice:
