Incredible moment lag jumps into £200k Lambo seconds after being freed early under Labour’s controversial scheme

A LAG was seen jumping into a £200k Lamborghini just seconds after being freed early under Labour’s controversial scheme.

The prisoner at HMP Pentonville was met by a group of friends as he left jail this morning – before hopping into the super car and driving off.

He was just one of 1,700 prisoners who were released early after Keir Starmer’s plans to ease pressure on the justice system came into force.

Other ex-convicts were seen jumping into fancy motors with a Bentley also spotted driving off.

Lags being released early from jail are reportedly being handed McDonald’s vouchers and cash by prisons under a controversial new scheme.

It is now understood some freed inmates are being handed supermarket and McDonald’s food vouchers, as well as help with onward transport.

Convicts are also being put up in hotels rather than bail hostels under the radical plans.

At Holme House Prison in Stockton-on-Tees, a woman, waiting for her husband to be released from his fraud sentence, said: “They’re getting money to help them get home, as well as McDonald’s and supermarket food vouchers, but you know they’re just going to get drugs with them.”

Djaber Benallaoua, 20, above, was released from HMP Isis at 9.30am before being greeted by five pals who embraced him with hugs.

On his release, Benallaoua, a convicted drug dealer, said: “I’m now a lifelong Labour voter.”

The scheme comes despite concerns over reoffending with offenders being let out having served less than half of their sentences in a bid to free up space behind bars.

The policy will see prisoners released after completing 40 per cent of their sentence – rather than the standard 50 per cent – in a bid to free up 5,500 beds.
