Man arrested in Alicante as fugitive wanted by Algeria for money laundering and international smuggling
An individual has been arrested in the province of Alicante after being located by the National Police. The detainee was listed in international search records as a fugitive from Algerian justice.
The authorities of Algeria had sought the arrested man for his alleged involvement in a network dedicated to laundering money from illicit activities and cross-border smuggling of goods. Investigations suggest that the suspect was part of a criminal organisation that operated across several countries in North Africa and Europe.
The arrest was made as part of an international police cooperation operation involving officers from the Border and Foreign Affairs Brigade of the Spanish National Police. Investigators had received information about the possible presence of the fugitive on Spanish territory.
After locating the individual in Alicante, officers proceeded with his identification and arrest. The detainee was taken to police facilities where procedures were initiated for his presentation before the courts and the processing of the extradition requested by the North African country.
