The prosecutor explained that the escape action began at 12:56 last Thursday night, when Jimenez was serving as prison inspector. “He allowed the now-fugitive to go out and wear a uniform for official use of Inpec. Afterwards, he allowed him to board a vehicle that was inside the prison.”

In his speech, the official also explained that Jiménez Arboleda used two of his subordinates, to successfully complete the escape of “Matamba”. First, according to the investigation, he decided to send the dragonman who controlled the outside guard to another point in the prison, while he assumed control of that post. “Their job was to supervise checkpoints and not assume a specific one,” the prosecutor said.

In addition, he also radioed the assistant bachelor who was in charge of gate four, to go to the supply center to change his weapons. This guardhouse is close to the structure where “Matamba” came out and where you have the visual of all the movements that occur at the exit door.

“You lost that visual control while the auxiliary came down from the tower. That is the time for “Matamba” to board a vehicle inside the prison. You, abused your authority, order him to go to the armourillo so that he will leave his rifle and ask for a revolver.”
