Prison outbreak in Basel: Police are looking for fleeing men

Prison outbreak in Basel: Police are looking for fleeing men

In a dramatic incident that worries the authorities, two men broke out from a prison in Switzerland. The escape occurred on Friday when a 22-year-old Tunisian and a 37-year-old Algerian from the Bässlergut prison in Basel escaped. It is still unclear how the two men were able to overcome the security precautions because the investigation of the incident is still running. Nevertheless, the constant tense situation takes care of the authorities, especially since both refugees have a number of serious crimes in their luggage.

The question that many people concerns is how exactly the men could escape without the supervisors or the monitoring systems of the prison reacted to it. The judicial and security authorities of the canton of Basel-Stadt have had the fleeting searches internationally and warned the population in the neighboring regions. It is worrying that the location of the prison is just under a kilometer from the German border, which has made the escape options easier for the two men.

The dangerous profile of the fleeting

The escape is particularly critical due to the criminal background of the two men. The Tunisian is accused of having committed serious crimes in the past, including intentional killing, serious bodily harm and robbery. Such accusations indicate that it is potentially extremely dangerous.

On the other hand, the Algerian received a conviction for property damage, trespassing and illegal entry. Even if his allegations do not fall into the same extremely dangerous category as that of his accomplice, he can still be considered risky. The combination of their criminal profiles is a serious danger to public security and raises the question of how flight could happen unnoticed.

The local police and the judicial authorities in Germany are tense and emphasize the urgency in the search for the two men. A spokesman for the authorities expressed that it was important to warn and sensitize the population in order to minimize the possibility of returning the arrested if they actually exceed the limit.

The situation remains tense while the investigation continues. The authorities endeavor to clarify the circumstances of the flight to prevent future outbreaks and to recognize possible dangers early on.
