Arrested in Marbella: one of Canada's most wanted fugitives
The Spanish National Police have arrested one of Canada's most wanted fugitives in Marbella, who was attempting to avoid detection by removing his body tattoos to hinder recognition, according to reporting by El País.
The arrest took place in the municipality of Marbella in Málaga, on the Costa del Sol, an area known historically for harbouring numerous international fugitives. The suspect was listed among the criminals most wanted by Canadian authorities.
To avoid being identified, the fugitive had undergone treatments to remove tattoos that could give away his identity to law enforcement. Nevertheless, investigators managed to locate him and proceed with his arrest.
The detention is part of international cooperation between Spanish and Canadian police forces in locating and apprehending fugitives from justice. The suspect will be placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities for extradition proceedings.
