Nordine Ben Allal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nordine Ben Allal is a Belgian criminal of Moroccan origin who was condemned for a 27-year prison sentence in June 2004, and who escaped three times, in October 2000, in December 2000 and in August 2004.
His third escape from prison took place from August 8 to August 13, 2004. During his escape, he was spotted by two police officers from the Police Zone Midi (which covers Anderlecht, St Gillis and Vorst). The policemen followed him into the neighbouring municipality of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, where Ben Allal opened fire on them, injuring the two officers. He was the most wanted fugitive in Belgium during that week and was finally captured by special police teams while hiding in the trunk of a car. Ben Allal is considered to be one of the most dangerous criminals in Belgium. In November 2005 he was sentenced to an extra 12 years in prison for the shooting.
