The murderer who fled from the district court in Regensburg is to be extradited from France to Bavaria. “We assume that that will be in January,” said the spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office in Nuremberg, Antje Gabriels-Gorsolke. The media had previously reported about it. Which prison the 40-year-old will then go to will be decided at short notice.
The Algerian jumped out of the window of his defense attorney’s office two weeks ago during a break in the hearing. On the fifth day of his escape, investigators in France caught him in his sister’s car. Gabriels-Gorsolke said he agreed to his extradition to Germany in a hearing on Tuesday.
The man was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013 for the murder of a kiosk owner in Nuremberg and was in prison in Straubing. He had been transferred to Würzburg for resisting law enforcement officials there and had to answer before the Regensburg District Court.
