Popular Post webfact Posted January 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2020 Escaped prisoner sends postcard to prison directors, 'Greetings from Thailand' by K Thor Jensen File photo After escaping from Belgium's Turnhout Prison in December, former inmate Oualid Sekkaki taunted the facility's directors by sending them a postcard gloating about his successful getaway. The Brussels Times reported that Sekkaki and four other men made their break from Turnhout on December 19, 2019. The group climbed over the prison's exterior wall and got into a getaway car that was waiting in a nearby street. Three of the escapees were recaptured the next day, while a fourth enjoyed freedom until early January. Police could not find Sekkaki, however, and the first sign of him came when a letter arrived at Turnhout on Monday. The envelope contained Sekkaki's prison badge as well as a card with the message "Greetings from Thailand" on it. It is uncertain whether the missive was actually sent from Thailand. According to De Morgen, Sekkaki was arrested in January 2017 after police pulled his car over on the A12 road. A search of his vehicle revealed 25,000 ecstasy pills. Sekaki was already wanted for questioning in a previous shooting incident.

Popular Post URMySunshine Posted January 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2020 If he is clever enough to escape from prison he is no doubt clever enough to use a compatriot to muddy the waters as to his actual whereabouts. Interpol should find it easy to corroborate this with Thai immigration records. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30la Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Maybe he has no money to stay in Thailand or maybe he has realized that the Belgian prison is much better than outside but he has no money for the return ticket! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krungbin Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 In the meantime, the Belgians are convinced that Oualid Sekkaki is just trying to throw them off the scent... Mind you, he is not the first one: some ten years ago, a Belgian drug dealer and his partners sent a postcard too. They got caught by the RTP in Koh Samui...

Misterwhisper Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What an amateur! If I were him I would have sent a postcard "Greetings from Istanbul" stuffed in an envelope "Made in China", closed with Finnish reindeer glue and decorated with Japanese "Hello Kitty" stickers, posted from Ulan Bataar with a poste restante return address in Paraguay. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutz Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Funny, but if the guy has any brains he would actually be on an entirely different continent. The funny postcard being an attempt to throw the police off his scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
