Justiz: Flüchtiger Betrüger Holt verabschiedete sich von Behörden – Ist er in Moskau?
In einer E-Mail nach seiner Flucht schrieb der 36-Jährige, er werde nicht ins Gefängnis zurückkehren. Nach Hendrik Holt wird nun europaweit gefahndet.
Justiz: Fraudulent wind energy dealer Hendrik Holt has conveyed one final message to authorities after his escape. One day after disappearing, an email was received by the Berlin prison where he was housed, according to the Osnabrück State Prosecutor's Office. It seems he had instructed them that he would not return. The sender appears to be singular, but no further details are provided.
According to NDR, the message specifically stated, "Hendrik Holt does not return." The Osnabrück State Prosecutor's Office issued a European arrest warrant, as confirmed by a spokesperson. Holt has been on the run since he failed to return to Berlin's correctional facility on Tuesday, as the Osnabrück State Prosecutor's Office reported.
Holt, a 36-year-old from Esen, Lower Saxony, was being sought, said a spokesperson for the Osnabrück State Prosecutor's Office. His whereabouts are currently unknown. Several media outlets picked up on an Instagram post that said, "Greetings from Moscow very nice - the caviar is fantastic here." The State Prosecutor's Office acknowledged they were aware of the Instagram post.
Opinions and assessments regarding this could not be provided due to the ongoing search. Meanwhile, it was reported that Holt had not left Germany from Rostock Airport. In 2022, the Land Court of Osnabrück convicted Holt of a total of nearly nine years in prison. This was due to gang-related fraud, bribery, and document forgery.
He was last seen in a Berlin prison. Among other things, he allegedly sold existing wind farms to foreign energy companies that did not exist.
