Hungarian Prisoner Strolls Out Of Dresden Jail
- 17 May 2013 9:00 AM
A Hungarian prisoner “walked out” of a Dresden jail after switching places with his cellmate, prison director Ulrich Schwarzer told state news agency MTI on Thursday. The escape was discovered on Wednesday, roughly 30 minutes after the 32-year-old man had left the penitentiary.
The Hungarian prisoner asked his cell mate, who was due to be released and bore a startling resemblance to him, to swap places.
The only change he made to his appearance was to comb his hair in the same way as his accomplice.
The escapee was in custody for forcing a 15-year-old east European girl into prostitution.
