Marco Raduano, 40, escaped from the Badu’e Carros prison in Sardinia on Friday and the incident was caught on surveillance footage and shared widely on social media.

Giovanni Villa, a local correctional officers’ union leader, was quoted as saying to The Telegraph, that it appeared Raduano had planned the escape well in advance and had everything ready.
