An inexplicable ruling that Penitentiary Institutions are investigating has allowed a dangerous prisoner, confessed author of a murder and investigated for a second death, to escape from Madrid 2. This prison is better known as Alcalá Meco because it is located precisely between these two Madrid towns. : Alcalá and Meco. The escapee, Yusef M.L., el Pastilla, 20 years old, has a very violent criminal history.
Despite his youth, Pastilla is classified in category 5 of the FIES or Special Monitoring Inmate File, which includes “high conflict” inmates, members of criminal groups or those detained for serious crimes against people or freedom. sexual. These are not people as dangerous as FIES 1, who require “direct control”, but they also need extreme vigilance.
How is it possible that someone like this would carry out an evasion that has called into question all the controls in Alcalá Meco? El Pastilla took advantage of the visit from his relatives to get out of jail, confused between them. A FIES 5 must remain in modules with “reinforced” security measures. The regulations provide that their cells be changed periodically and that their communications be “strictly supervised.”
Personnel problems and the dates, the eve of Christmas Eve, perhaps caused the prison to let its guard down. The fact is that Pastilla, which in slang is a kie, a tough guy, left without the need for violence or intimidation. Didn’t anyone count how many relatives went to see him and how many left? Paradoxically, this criminal has benefited from the transfer from the Algeciras prison to the Alcalá Meco prison, in theory safer.
This story also allows us to vindicate the work of the local press and media such as El Faro de Ceuta, which not only gave the exclusive story of the escape, but also explains on a daily basis the ins and outs of the fights between drug traffickers in the area with journalists like Carmen. Echarri, among others. Most of the information that has been published about the escape is indebted to this medium and this reporter, although not all of them recognize it.
El Pastilla was arrested for the murder of the leader of his own gang and that of a citizen whom he killed by mistake. In the Algeciras prison he had so many enemies that his security advised transferring him to another center. Union sources wonder why they did not send him to a maximum security prison, like Estremera, also called Madrid 7. Possibly, his age outweighed his history and he ended up in a youth module in Madrid 2.
The Alcalá Meco staff, as officials have explained to the Efe agency, is made up of “very old or very inexperienced personnel.” Added to this are the “obsolete” protocols in force, such as that visits are controlled with the DNI, and not with the fingerprint. That doesn’t explain everything. If he had been a visitor, the escapee should have collected his ID upon leaving and evidently he did not do so.
This prisoner, Spanish and resident of Ceuta, was until recently a hitman for Nayim K.A., Tayena, one of the drug trafficking bosses between this autonomous city and Algeciras (Cádiz). Tayena’s organization has been involved in a tense and violent struggle with Piolín, a rival criminal group that also fights for the local drug business. In this spiral of violence, Tayena appointed Pastilla to teach his enemies a lesson.
And said and done. The hitman chose a target, easily located by the vehicle he was driving. But he did not take into account an obvious fact: not only was that car not the only one in Algeciras, but there were many with similar characteristics. Like for example that of J.F.A., 26 years old, with no relation to the world of crime and who on April 6, 2022 was shot four times almost at point-blank range by a hooded man.
The Civil Guard took a while to reach Tayena, not the perpetrator, but the alleged instigator of the crime. Nothing connected him to the victim, whose only crime was being behind the wheel of his car at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Like other small drug lords, Tayena does not get her hands dirty if it is not necessary and investigators began to control his lieutenants, especially one…
Like Scarface starring Tony Montana/Al Pacino, Pastilla ended up rebelling against his boss. On April 6, this time without a balaclava, he killed him with a shot to the chest. In search and capture, he was arrested a week later. He was going to embark for Ceuta. He confessed to the crime, although he is also being investigated for the car crime. When he arrived at the Botafuegos prison, in Algeciras, his story was not yet over.
