French fugitive Adonis Correa, 24, was arrested in Phuket, Thailand, connected to the violent prison break of drug baron Mohamed Amra. Amra escaped in May 2024, leading to a violent attack on a prison van that left two guards dead. Correa, described as a close associate of Amra, was captured amidst an international manhunt after entering Thailand on a tourist visa before an Interpol red notice was issued. His lawyer stated that Correa voluntarily approached Thai authorities, marking a development in the ongoing investigation into the criminal enterprise behind the breakout.
Thai police have arrested a French national linked to a transnational criminal organization involved in a violent prison break that resulted in the deaths of prison officers.
The violent nature of Amra's escape last year stunned France and made headlines around the world, with masked gunmen armed with military-grade automatic weapons attacking a prison van.
Correa is the latest of two dozen suspects detained as part of the French probe into the breakout after he entered Thailand with a tourist visa.
His lawyer in France stated that his client had turned himself in, presenting himself to Thai authorities, indicating proactive compliance.
