A massive manhunt was underway for one of France’s most notorious criminals
In an elaborately orchestrated escape, heavily armed commandos landed a hijacked helicopter on the grounds of the lockup near Paris, overwhelmed guards and whisked gangster Redoine Faid to freedom in just a "few minutes," officials said.
Faid’s escape from Reau Prison, south of Paris, marked the second time in less than five years that he has absconded from a maximum-security penitentiary. He was serving a 25-year sentence for a botched 2010 armed robbery in which 26-year-old French police officer Aurélie Fouquet was killed during a gun battle.
