Man arrested in Alicante, fugitive wanted by Algeria for money laundering
A man has been arrested in Alicante province after being located by Spanish security forces. The detained individual was listed among fugitives sought by Algerian authorities on suspicion of financial crimes related to money laundering.
According to Información, the arrest was made as part of international police cooperation between Spain and the North African country. The arrested man was being sought by an Algerian court which has charged him with money laundering.
Spanish officers executed the detention order after identifying the fugitive in national territory. He was subsequently handed over to the National Court, which is the competent authority for processing extradition requests from other states.
The case highlights the collaboration between the police forces of both countries in locating individuals attempting to evade justice by crossing borders. The extradition of the detainee now depends on a decision by Spanish courts, which will assess whether legal requirements are met for his handover to Algeria.
