Greek police have found the trail of a notorious thug, ending a major case involving Belgium and Spain. After gathering information, experienced and well-trained police officers from Tripoli arrested on Monday a 51-year-old man against whom a European arrest warrant issued by the Belgian and Spanish authorities was pending.
By the Belgian authorities, the 51-year-old had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for two murders in 1999. He had also been sentenced to six years in prison in 2008 in Spain for the offence of homelessness.
The Belgian, for the last five years, had settled in Tyros, Arcadia, and introduced himself as a Greek-American. He had also rented a house where he had been hiding all that time.
In order to avoid being checked, he had a fake identity card and a fake driver's license with him, identifying him as a Greek expatriate.[/P]He worked as a laborer and was known in the local community as John from Michigan, USA.
In Spain he even went around under a different name and identity in order to avoid being targeted by the authorities.
