Five Inmates Escape Portuguese High-Security Prison
Five inmates, including a British national named Mark Cameron Roscaleer, escaped from the Vale de Judeus high-security prison in Portugal with external help. The escapees, who include an Argentinian, a Georgian, and two Portuguese men, scaled the prison wall using a ladder provided by accomplices. Roscaleer is serving a nine-year sentence for kidnapping and robbery, while the Portuguese inmates were serving 25-year sentences for serious crimes like drug trafficking and kidnapping. The prison guards’ union criticized the Portuguese state for insufficient investment and staffing, which they claim compromised security. Local authorities have deployed police to recapture the fugitives and have warned the public not to approach them as they are considered extremely dangerous. Concerns have been raised regarding the prison's security measures, as officials noted a lack of guards contributed to the escape.
