Antonio Ferrara

Antonio Ferrara, known as the 'king of the beautiful,' is a notorious Italian criminal recognized for his multiple bank heists and two successful prison escapes. Born on October 12, 1973, in southern Italy and later residing in Choisy-le-Roi, France, he has been involved in serious criminal activities leading to convictions for robbery and attempted murder. Ferrara gained notoriety for his audacious escapes, including one in 1998 during a hospital transfer and another in 2003, when he escaped with the help of accomplices disguised as police officers. His criminal exploits and repeated run-ins with law enforcement have made him a prominent figure in French crime news, and he was recently arrested in Belgium as part of a French investigation related to a planned attack on a secure bank facility.
