HE ESCAPED PRISON BY HELICOPTER: MICHEL LEPAGE, ONE OF FRANCE'S MOST NOTORIOUS ROBBERS

Overview

Thanks to Michel for joining us on the LEGEND set. Michel Lepage—known as "Le Gros" (The Big Man)—is a major figure in organized crime from the southern suburbs of Paris. A specialist in armed robbery, he first escaped from a prison transport van in 1977, only to be arrested again a few months later. It was his son who orchestrated his second escape—this time by helicopter—from Bois-d'Arcy prison in 1992.
