The helicopter that extracted him on Sunday flew right across the Paris region, from the jail to the southeast of the capital, before being dumped not far from Charles de Gaulle airport to the northeast of the city. What a fucking story. Dude is in jail and orchestrates a helicopter rescue from the looks around clouds. I bet the guards were dumbfounded.
How fast do you think the Netflix documentary producers got on the phone to gain the rights to this story? This shit will be in the True Crime sections of podcasts and documentaries in a matter of hours. I hope this guy gets away and they dont catch him. I need to see him on a beach in South America sipping on a nice cocktail next to a table with smatterings of cocaine residue. Unarmed guards said they could do nothing to prevent it.
Dressed all in black, two commandos wearing ski masks and police armbands entered the prison to look for Faid. The commandos used smoke canisters to hide from video cameras, and the helicopter touched down in the only part of the complex that was not covered by anti-helicopter netting, said another union member, Loic Delbroc. When the chopper arrived, Faid was meeting with his brother in the visiting room.
A third commando was holding the pilot at gunpoint, union members said. French media reported that the three men took the pilot hostage at a flying club in the Paris region. He was later released with no physical injuries. The helicopter was found burned in the town of Garges-les-Gonesse, in the northern suburbs of Paris. Faid was believed to have left by car along with his accomplices. French prosecutors opened a new investigation into Faid, 46, who was serving time for the death of a young police officer killed during a botched robbery.
Investigators were questioning his brother on Sunday afternoon. This shit is like a fucking blockbuster movie. I hope Faid is played by Ryan Reynolds. A movie this insane needs some comic relief that only Ryan could provide. All rights reserved.
