Crime - Convicted offender still on the run
A convicted criminal from Berlin is still on the run. The search for the 57-year-old has been unsuccessful so far, according to a spokesperson for the Senatsjustizverwaltung. The man used a supervised outing to visit his mother in Neukölln to escape. It is still being investigated by Justice how he managed to evade the two justice officials.
The 57-year-old, according to the Justice Administration, was sentenced to five years in prison for bodily harm and rape. He had already served his sentence in 2015. However, since the man was still considered dangerous, he was transferred to the custody of the Justice Vollzugsanstalt Tegel after his sentence. According to the Justice Administration, this institution could be regularly left. Forty-two outings have passed unnoticed so far.
The third case this year
This is the third time in the current year that convicted criminals in Berlin have used an outing for their escape. A double murderer did not return to prison from his first unsupervised outing just over a week ago. He was arrested in Brandenburg 54 hours later. In February, a 54-year-old from the custody of the JVA Tegel used an outing for his escape. He was arrested in Schleswig-Holstein after about three days.
- Despite his previous conviction for rape and bodily harm, resulting in a five-year imprisonment in Germany, the 57-year-old managed to use a supervised outing to inflict bodily injury on his mother in Neukölln, Berlin, before escaping.
- The Justice Administration in Berlin is currently investigating how the convicted criminal, who was still considered dangerous after serving his sentence, managed to evade his justice officials during an outing, committing a crime in Neukölln.
- This escape incident in Neukölln marks the third time this year that convicted criminals in Berlin have used an outing for their escape, highlighting the need for improved justice system measures.
- The search for the 57-year-old, accused of escaping jail and committing a crime in Neukölln, Berlin, enjoys national attention as it raises concerns about the effectiveness of the German justice system in protecting citizens from crimes committed by convicted criminal offenders.
