A prison escape occurred at the courthouse of Evengelidou in Greece when a 20-year-old inmate successfully eluded police during a transfer. The young man, reportedly an immigrant, had been facing an impending deportation due to expired residency documents. As he was brought to court for a hearing regarding his case, he managed to slip past the guards and exit through a turnstile, ultimately escaping into the surrounding area.

Authorities are now conducting a search operation to locate and recapture the escaped inmate. The incident has raised serious concerns about the security measures in place during the transport of prisoners to court. Investigations are also underway to examine the conditions that allowed the escape to occur, including the adequacy of the security arrangements and the protocol followed by the officers responsible for his custody.

The escape is particularly troubling given the implications for public safety and the effectiveness of law enforcement in managing detainee transfers. This incident not only highlights potential lapses in security but also raises questions about the management of individuals facing deportation and the procedures followed in their judicial handling.
