This arrest follows 24 additional arrests made on March 24, 2025, as authorities continue to crack down on those connected to the escape.

Among those arrested on March 24 was rapper Koba LaD, who has been placed in solitary confinement as part of the investigation.

A total of 27 individuals, including Amra, have been charged in connection with the escape, with most currently in pre-trial detention under isolation conditions.

The recent arrest of a close associate of drug trafficker Mohamed Amra is part of a broader investigation into Amra's violent escape from custody, which resulted in the deaths of two prison guards.

Investigators believe that six individuals were involved in the ambush of the prison transport, which was captured on surveillance cameras.

The ongoing judicial investigation is being conducted in Paris, led by the judicial police.

Adonis C., a presumed accomplice of Amra, was apprehended at Phuket airport in Thailand on March 26, 2025, and is now incarcerated in Bangkok.

The charges against the suspects include serious offenses such as murder, attempted murder, escape in an organized group, and criminal conspiracy, with potential life sentences for the most serious offenders.

Prosecutor Laure Beccuau has emphasized the gravity of the charges, which could lead to life imprisonment for those found guilty.

Mohamed Amra, a repeat offender, was previously arrested in Romania in February 2025 and is the main suspect in the escape case.

The apprehended individual, Adonis C., is described as being very close to Amra and had been on the run prior to his arrest.
