Last secrets of Mohamed Amra's escape

Mohamed Amra, a drug trafficker who escaped during a prison transfer in Eure, relied on discreet friends from Rouen for his final flight. One year after his escape ended, details emerge about his activities in Marrakech and Rouen. On February 6, 2025, he was checked in Austria with fake papers.

Mohamed Amra escaped nine months earlier during a prison transfer in Eure, France, becoming public enemy number one hunted by all European police forces. In the final moments of his escape, which ended one year ago, he could no longer rely on his 'BMF' network supports due to increased investigator surveillance. He then turned to discreet friends from Rouen, who helped him leave French territory using fake papers.

Amra operated as a forger in Marrakech and logistician in Rouen, according to the revelations. On February 6, 2025, around noon, Nasser A. was driving a Mercedes CLA 45 on an Austrian highway towards Bratislava. The trunk contained 'new Vuitton sneakers' and perfumes, while a 'large bundle of bills' was in the glove compartment.

During a check near an industrial zone, two policewomen questioned the man sitting next to the driver, identified as Amra, who was using a fake ID. In approximate English, he answered the questions. One officer checked his iPhone, which worried him: 'she had kept it too long, he didn't know what she had done with it.' The police eventually let them go.

These details, from exclusive investigations, highlight Amra's efforts to evade capture, nicknamed 'Fantômas' in some exchanges.
