Authorities in Italy are on the hunt for a particularly slippery inmate who successfully staged his fourth prison escape last week. Albanian national Taulant Toma had reportedly been incarcerated at a maximum security facility in Milan, where he was supposed to remain until his lengthy sentence for robbery and other crimes ends in 2048. However, the miscreant had other ideas and, in classic prison break fashion, managed to obtain a file, sawed through his cell window bars, and ultimately escaped through the opening using knotted bed sheets.
As he had used the cover of night to pull off the daring feat, his departure was not discovered by prison workers until the following morning, which led to a nationwide manhunt that has yet to locate the fugitive who is feared to have left the country. Before the incident last week, Toma had already boasted the nickname 'Escape King' for having previously broken out of three other prisons, including a facility in Belgium where he somehow convinced his fellow inmates to form a human pyramid to boost him over the wall.
