A man has been charged with assisting a former British soldier who was convicted of spying for Iran in his escape from a London prison. Imran Chowdhury, 25, has been charged with one count of assisting an escaped prisoner for helping Daniel Khalife after he broke out of Wandsworth prison in September 2023, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Khalife managed to escape by strapping himself beneath a food delivery truck, sparking a massive police search that lasted for three days. Khalife, 23, was later convicted in November of violating Britain’s Official Secrets Act and Terrorism Act for collecting information useful to Iran. He is awaiting sentencing later this year.
