Amra was convicted of housebreaking on 10 Might and had been indicted by prosecutors in Marseille for a kidnapping that led to a loss of life.
His lawyer, Hugues Vigier, advised French information channel BFMTV “he wish to consider that he [Amra] did not know concerning the plan to free him”.
“For me this plan does not match with what I do know of him. If he is behind it then I failed to grasp who he’s,” Mr Vigier added.
In keeping with some French media experiences, exterior, Amra had tried to flee his jail cell earlier this week by attempting to noticed the cell’s bars.
Ms Beccuau, the capital’s state prosecutor, advised a information convention Amra had 13 convictions, with the primary one courting again to October 2009 – when he was 15 years previous.
Though the now 30-year-old was not a “carefully watched inmate”, the Paris prosecutor mentioned his transportation required a “stage three escort”.
Amra is alleged to have ties to a gang within the southern metropolis of Marseille, which has been tormented by drug-related gang violence.
However his prison document so far doesn’t include any convictions for drug offences, the Paris prosecutor mentioned on Tuesday.
