A former British soldier, facing spying charges, admitted to escaping from a London prison by clinging to the underside of a delivery truck. The 23-year-old changed his plea to guilty during his trial at London’s Woolwich Crown Court.
The individual denies violating Britain’s Official Secrets Act by collecting information useful to Iran, breaching the Terrorism Act, and planting fake bombs at a military base. The escape took place in September 2023 from Wandsworth Prison, where the soldier used a sling made from prison trousers to tie himself to the underside of a catering truck.
