Compensation for troublesome prisoner

Belgium needs a now former 'difficult' inmate pay a hefty compensation.

Bamouhammad, better known by the nickname Farid Le Fou (the Madman), was stuck for murder, attempted murder and hostage-taking. He was transferred dozens of times from jail to jail because he was unmanageable. He was in April conditionally and provisionally released because of medical reasons.

Bamouhammad was once before gone to a judge because of his treatment in prison. In 2014, he received compensation of 11 000 euro because he wrongly eleven days, shackled hand and foot remained in isolation.
