At the moment Mohamed Amra, nicknamed “The Fly”, is the most searched man in France. Officially, a man on the run. He is the prisoner on the run after the attack in the Eure department on a van stopped at a motorway toll booth: two officers were killed.

But who is this man on the run? He is 30 years old and is considered a “particularly notorious prisoner” (DPS), a name used to classify those prisoners who belong to national or international organized crime, or are linked to terrorist movements, or those whose escape could have a significant impact on the public order, or those who are exposed to serious violence in prison having committed one or more murders, rapes, acts of torture and barbarity.

On 10 May 2024 Amra was convicted of burglary by the Évreux court, but had already been indicted by the Specialized Interregional Jurisdiction (JIRS) of Marseille for kidnapping. Amra would also be under investigation for “attempted murder in an organized gang” in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray. Initially held in the Baumettes prison, he was then transferred to the Santé prison and finally to the Évreux prison. Sources in the French media describe him as the leader of a drug trafficking gang. Only two days ago «La Mosca» had attempted to saw off the bars of his cell to escape, but he had been discovered and had been locked up in one of the cells intended for prisoners against whom a disciplinary measure was issued. After that episode, the “Escort 3” level of control was announced for him, which required the presence of at least 3 prison officers for his movements, one of whom could act as a driver, and 2 armed officers as reinforcement.
