Wanted drug runner caught after 8 years in Spain
A 36-year-old convicted
drug smuggler who fled prison in Sweden in 2004 by feigning illness has
been caught in Spain after a massive international man hunt that lasted
eight years, Swedish newspaper, the Local reported.
The man, Saoud Rezgani, was sentenced to six years in prison back in 2003 after he was found guilty of smuggling almost 49 kilogrammes of cannabis into Sweden from Denmark.
Not long after entering prison, however, Rezgani complained to prison medical staff of stomach pains and later escaped from the country in connection with a visit to the doctor in 2004.
In his escape, he knocked down the two armed guards who had escorted him to the hospital and took off in a stolen grey Saab 9000, which was later found dumped in Norrtälje.
Rezgani, a Moroccan citizen, managed to evade an international man hunt that continued until late last month when police took him in Malaga on the Spanish coast. Read More
