"Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, 24, from Algeria, was accidentally freed on 29 October from Wandsworth prison, in south London. He was arrested in Islington on Friday, the Metropolitan police said. A manhunt for Kaddour-Cherif, who also has convictions for theft, was launched by the Met. The force expressed frustration that he had had a six-day head start because the mistake was only reported to the Met a week later, on 4 November."
"It is understood Kaddour-Cherif has not applied for asylum, and was in the initial stages of being deported for overstaying his visa when he was let out. He entered the UK on a visitor visa in 2019, but was flagged as an automatic case of having overstayed on 6 February 2020. According to the Met, Kaddour-Cherif uses other variations of his first name, including Ibrahim, and has links to Westminster and Tower Hamlets."
