Now he is in prison and is accused of the crimes of illegal detention, attack on an agent of authority, injuries and criminal organization.
The policemen followed him into the neighbouring municipality of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, where Ben Allal opened fire on them, injuring the two officers.
He was the most wanted fugitive in Belgium during that week and was finally captured by special police teams while hiding in the trunk of a car.
During the distraction, Ben Allal and an accomplice were able to get away in guard uniforms and joined their awaiting helpers who had a car waiting for them, which was found abandoned a few hours later.
On 30 October 2007, Ben Allal attempted to commit an armed robbery with an accomplice in The Hague, Netherlands, but was arrested by the Dutch Police when trying to escape on a motorcycle.
