Rapper Koba LaD Charged in Connection to Violent Prison Escape of Mohamed Amra

The artist is accused of ties to the Black Manjak Family and alleged involvement in the 2024 jailbreak that left two prison guards dead.

Koba LaD, already in pretrial detention for a separate case, has been officially charged with 'association of malefactors' for alleged involvement in Mohamed Amra's escape.
Investigators suspect the rapper had knowledge of or aided the escape plan, which involved a commando attack that killed two guards and injured three others.
Authorities continue to probe Koba LaD's links to the Black Manjak Family, a group suspected of laundering drug money and facilitating criminal operations.
A key suspect connected to the escape surrendered in Thailand and is awaiting extradition to France, adding to the 28 individuals already charged in the case.
Mohamed Amra, recaptured in Romania in February 2025 after nine months on the run, remains in isolation in a high-security French prison.
