An operation of State Police ended yesterday afternoon with the arrest of a 45-year-old Finnish man who is wanted internationally.
The man was the recipient of a European arrest warrant issued by the Swedish authorities for serious crimes, including abduction, illegal restriction and hostage-taking.The intervention took place at a hotel in the area of Capodichino, where the staff of the facility had reported a customer who refused to provide the identity documents necessary for registration. The officers of the police station of Secondigliano, having arrived on the scene, they attempted to identify the man, who however managed to escape by climbing down from a window.
A search note was immediately issued from the operations room, with the descriptions of the fugitive. Thanks to the promptness and coordination of the agents of the General Prevention and Public Rescue Office, the 45-year-old was tracked down and stopped shortly after in Viale Fulco Ruffo di Calabria.
Subsequent investigations confirmed the presence of the European arrest warrant issued against him. The man was then arrested and placed at the disposal of the competent authorities, pending extradition procedures to Sweden.
