The Liège Court of Appeal sentenced Mohamed Laraboui, 63, to fourteen years in prison for having participated in violent hostage-taking committed during the escape from Andenne prison. Indeed, the man is already well known to the Belgian authorities for acts of organized crime, but not only. Thus, he was notably condemned by a judgment in 2002 in France.
Before the Court of Appeal of Liège, he had to answer for acts committed on October 9, 2011 within the prison of Andenne. Some detainees made a diversion while four others, including Mohamed Larbaoui, took two guards hostage. One of the victims was pushed to the ground and the other held at bay with a knife held to the throat. The thugs had the doors of the prison opened before fleeing with one of the supervisors taken hostage.
A chase started with the police. The fugitives stopped at a restaurant. There, they took another lady hostage with a knife. They forced her to take her vehicle to take them away. During the events, the prison officer was injured with blood flowing to her hand while trying to reduce the pressure that the authors exerted with a knife on her neck. The victims of these facts keep scars following their attack. Mohamed Larbaoui is in confession on the materiality of the facts, but gave his explanation. “ I was in my 21st consecutive year of detention. I regret what I did. When I did this, I was in a state where I had to get out of prison.” The court also pronounced the immediate arrest of the condemned.
