Mohamed Amra, a French fugitive who escaped from a prison convoy last year resulting in two guards' deaths, was arrested in Romania after an international search. His elaborate escape and subsequent hiding involved assistance from multiple accomplices, leading to ten additional arrests. Amra was recognized even after altering his appearance, suggesting determination in evading the law. As authorities assess extradition procedures, the case highlights the complexities of international law enforcement cooperation in tracking fugitives across borders.
'A notorious French fugitive who staged a deadly escape last year appeared in a Romanian court Sunday after a nine-month international police hunt culminated in his arrest in Bucharest.'
'Mohamed Amra, sporting dyed red hair possibly meant to disguise his identity, flashed a big smile at onlookers as he was escorted by police in and out of the courthouse.'
'Ten other people in Amra's entourage were arrested overnight, suspected of participating in the preparation and execution of his escape last year and helping him hide once he was on the run.'
'Romanian judicial authorities will decide whether to hand him over to French justice, according to Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau's statements regarding the situation.'
