Khan, who worked alongside Khalife in the prison kitchen, helped him from inside the jail by asking Imran Chowdhury to withdraw £400 for Khalife and arranging a £120 payment for Chowdhury's involvement. Imran Chowdhury, 26, from Chingford, east London, was cleared of the same charge, with the judge noting the jury's finding suggested he "didn't know what the hell was going on". Evidence presented at Snaresbrook Crown Court included Khalife's diary containing Khan's contact details, multiple phone calls between them post-escape, and CCTV footage showing Chowdhury and Khalife together. Khan was remanded into custody and is scheduled to be sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 4 September; Khalife was previously sentenced to 14 years and three months for breaching the Official Secrets and Terrorism Acts and escaping prison.
