He escapes from prison by getting out of his cell with knotted sheets: escaped under arrest

He had dropped out of his cell with sheets, like in a movie, making him lose track on New Year's Eve. Kristjan Mehill, escaped from Vercelli prison two months ago, was captured abroad.

Of Albanian origins, 29 years old, Mehill was in prison for a series of villa thefts carried out between Piedmont and Lombardy. He was part of the "ice-eyed" gang that, in November 2018 in Cella Monte, in the Alessandria area, broke into the villa of Riccardo Coppo, a well-known wine entrepreneur from Monferrato, taking away cash and valuables for about 40 thousand euros.

"If you don't take me to the safe I'll shoot you", the threat to the entrepreneur, to whom he had pointed a gun to his head several times during the robbery.

Armed and violent, the bandits, arrested by the carabinieri in May 2019, acted with military techniques, the same probably used to prepare the evasion of Mehill, who in Vercelli had to serve a sentence until 2029.
