Prosecutors say escaped inmate Daniel Khalife, 23, used members of the public’s phones to obtain money from a fellow prisoner while he was on the run. Khalife fled Wandsworth Prison in September 2023, triggering a nationwide search. He is reported to have escaped by clinging to the underside of a food lorry as it left the prison area. During court proceedings, the case includes allegations about Khalife’s alleged attempts to communicate and arrange payments using phones belonging to members of the public, which prosecutors say helped him transfer funds to another prisoner. The reporting describes these allegations as part of the wider account of how Khalife remained at large after the escape and sought to continue interactions related to money while evading capture. The summary of the proceedings reflects what is presented to the court; it does not provide an outcome or detail of defense arguments. The case remains centered on the circumstances of Khalife’s escape and subsequent conduct while he was still at large.
