A second man has been charged with helping former soldier Daniel Khalife after he escaped from prison. Adeel Khan, 30, from Waltham Forest, east London, is accused of helping Khalife after he escaped from HMP Wandsworth by tying himself to the underside of a food delivery truck in September 2023.
Khan has also been charged with possession of a phone in prison, the Metropolitan Police said. He was charged by postal requisition earlier this month and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. Last week Imran Chowdhury, 25, from Chingford, east London, was also charged with helping Khalife after he broke out of jail.
Chowdhury appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on January 7 and denied one count of assisting an escaped prisoner. He was bailed to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on February 4. Khalife, 23, was found guilty of spying for Iran after a trial in November 2024.
