A man has escaped a French prison by hiding in the bag of a fellow inmate who was leaving prison after serving their sentence, officials told local media.
The prison service has launched an investigation after the man escaped from Lyon-Corbas prison in south-east France on Friday, according to broadcaster BFMTV.
He "took advantage of the liberation of his fellow inmate to hide himself in his luggage and get out", the prison service said in a statement to AFP news agency.
French media have reported that the escaped prisoner was serving several sentences and was also under investigation in a case linked to organised crime.

Papillon.
Obviously, this particular escaped inmate was no relation to another Frenchman, the one formerly known as Andre the Giant.
So the prison didn’t check the bag upon his exit?
My first thought, too.
I’m trying to figure out where a prisoner got luggage, or why?
How small was this prisoner?
I wonder if he watched The Count of Monte Cristo for the idea.
Papillon luggage.
You know what they say...
...55 Saves Lives!
I don’t know. I always root for the escapee.
Let’s hope the other inmate didn’t decide to stash his luggage in a train station locker for a few days so he didn’t have to carry it everywhere.
More like Hogans Heroes.

The guy who served his sentence is gonna have to trek back to prison for aiding and abetting
LeBeau was a little guy who probably could have been smuggled out in a suitcase.
“...”took advantage of the liberation of his fellow inmate to hide himself in his luggage and get out...”
How can you overlook packing a person in your bag and not wonder how the thing got so heavy? He knew what was going on. They shouldn’t insult people’s intelligence.

How much luggage can a prisoner have in France?
And he actually was a POW in WWII
