(Berlin) The authorities in the German capital have become the target of public ridicule
and disbelief after nine prisoners escaped or absconded from one prison over the
space of five days. Six remain on the
run from Plötzensee jail after four separate incidents.
That disbelief turned to ridicule when it was revealed that the escape of 4 of them was actually captured on CCTV cameras, but it took 41 minutes before any action was taken.

The Green party Justice minister for Berlin Senator Dirk Behrendt has rejected all calls for him to resign.
