The Hunt: Public enemy number 1 is still in France
He's the most wanted man in France. The investigations carried out since his escape are impressive. All-round phone tapping, DNA traces have been monitored using the most modern scientific techniques. Thousands of telephone numbers listed and analyzed.
The trail of Mohamed Amra, the criminal and his commando, who killed two prison guards on May 14, is still lost in Seine-Maritime in France.
The investigation continues while the nine mobile phones discovered by the guards in his prison cell are being analyzed. To identify his entourage, the judicial police have delved back into the murder of a drug trafficker killed in 2022 near Marseille.
According to the investigations, Amra ordered the crime from his cell to steal a shipment of cannabis. He is said to have hired killers who came by car from Seine-Maritime, his native region.
To succeed in his scheme, Mohamed Hamra obviously needed accomplices who are absolutely loyal to him and it is in Seine-Maritime, where he grew up, that most of the criminals he rubbed shoulders with still live today. In their investigation, the police identified 26 delinquents.
The noose is tightening and "at one point or another, time will play in our favor and arrests will take place," said the Paris prosecutor.
