Only contact with guards and yet drug baron has two mobile phones in his cell: “The first would have cost 9,000 euros”

Othman El Ballouti (38) is one of the most heavily guarded drug lords in our prisons. He is only allowed to have contact with prison officers and his lawyer. And yet he managed to smuggle a smartphone into his cell twice in four months. How does he do that? Or better: who will do that for him? HLN asked guards and ex-detainees: “He actually only has two options to smuggle in a mobile phone.”
