Ananova:

Five Romanian prisoners managed to escape while guards were watching Champions League football.

They cut the bars of their first floor cell window with a hacksaw blade during the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

To cover the noise, they turned the TV up loud before the match started then began the escape operation when the match started. They escaped immediately after half-time.

All five men, who were aged 17 to 19, were caught half an hour after leaving the prison in Craiova, Dolj county.

They now face supplementary sentences of up to four years while the guards are being investigated by their superiors.
