Prisoner Ismael Berasategi fled La Santé prison in Paris, where his brother Joxean took his place

22
years ago

17 August 2002,

Prisoner Ismael Berasategi fled La Santé prison in Paris, replacing himself with his brother Joxean, of great physical similarity. Taking advantage of the weekend visit, with the help of wigs and glasses, the Urretxuarras brothers made the exchange. After five days José Antonio himself told the guards that he did not have to be inside, because nobody realized anything. This Paris prison is regarded as a maximum security prison.
