Prison escape of Daniel Khalife

Daniel Khalife jailed for spying for Iran and prison escape

The former British army soldier is sentenced after he was the subject of a nationwide manhunt in 2023.

The former solider collected information and passed it to Tehran, before escaping from HMP Wandsworth.

Adeel Khan, 30, is accused of assisting Khalife after he fled HMP Wandsworth in September 2023.

Imran Chowdhury of Chingford pleaded not guilty to a charge of assisting an escaped prisoner.

With hopes of becoming a double agent, Khalife was a fantasist - as well as a genuine security threat.

CCTV footage shows the food truck that Daniel Khalife used to escape leaving prison.

Khalife first contacted a man linked to Iranian intelligence soon after joining the British Army, his trial heard.

The former soldier has pleaded guilty to escaping from prison but still faces other charges.

Daniel Khalife told jurors at his trial that he cannot remember the document in question.
