Met hunting two more criminals mistakenly freed from prison
Algerian sex offender and a fraudster freed by Wandsworth jail, days after new checks brought in after Ethiopian prisoner wrongly released
Two criminals including a foreign sex offender have been mistakenly freed days after the UK justice secretary, David Lammy, brought in stronger checks for jails.
Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, a 24-year-old Algerian who had overstayed his visa, was wrongly released from Wandsworth prison in south London last Wednesday, with the Metropolitan police informed only on Tuesday.
