Daniel Khalife is in prison because he was convicted of spying for Iran and escaping from prison. He was sentenced to 14 years and three months. Khalife, a former British soldier, gathered and passed sensitive military information, including identities of special forces personnel, to Iranian agents. While awaiting trial, he escaped from Wandsworth prison by hiding beneath a food delivery truck, prompting a nationwide manhunt. He was recaptured after 75 hours. The court described him as a "dangerous fool" who sought notoriety from his prison escape. His offenses violated the Official Secrets Act and the Terrorism Act.
