Fugitive migrant sex offender Brahim Kaddour-Cherif arrived in the UK in 2019 on a visitor visa, the Daily Express understands.
The Algerian criminal was accidentally released from HMP Wandsworth on October 29, but the blunder was only reported to the Metropolitan Police on Tuesday, the force stated.
He was convicted in November 2024 of indecent exposure relating to an incident in March that year. He was sentenced to an 18-month community order and placed on the sex offenders' register for five years.
Sources confirmed Kaddour-Cherif's identity to the Daily Express. It comes after Epping sex offender Hadush Kebatu was wrongly released from HMP Chelmsford on October 24. The scandal has prompted renewed fury over the Ministry of Justice's handling of migrant sex offenders.
