A simple bowel movement and a loss of vigilance were enough for the 41-year-old prisoner to escape from Tires prison in Cascais on Monday morning. Escape artist Rita de Mello Franco returned to prison on Friday after having her parole recently revoked – she allegedly committed a robbery during that period – after serving two-thirds of her nine-year sentence. .years for theft, harm to physical integrity and forgery of documents.
The fugitive took advantage of the moment when only one guard was watching in the yard of about 100 prisoners. He climbed onto a chair, climbed into a hammock, and then walked out through a gate that had been left open because of work being done at the prison. According to the General Directorate of Prisons, Rita de Mello Franco was still in the “reception zone” and had two years and 11 months left to serve. The escape led to a warning to local police and has already prompted “an investigation process carried out by the Audit and Inspection Service, coordinated by the Ministry of Justice.”
