Interpol Fugitive Detained in Tui After Attempting to Escape on Foot
The Civil Guard unit in Tui arrested a 30-year-old man of foreign nationality on 2 June on whom an international search, detention and extradition warrant had been issued by Interpol Group 2. The detainee was wanted for his alleged involvement in a crime of wilful homicide. According to vigoe.es, the arrest took place during a routine surveillance operation by Citizen Security patrols in the municipality of Baixo Miño.
Identification in Urban Centre
Officers observed during the deployment a vehicle from which the suspect descended. When asked for documentation, the man displayed a nervous and evasive attitude and told the Civil Guards that he was not carrying any form of identity document. Due to suspicions raised by his behaviour, the officers asked him to empty his pockets, at which point they located several documents that revealed his true identity.
Alert in Interpol Systems
Using the identifying information obtained, the officers conducted the appropriate queries in police systems. The databases recorded a high-priority match: the citizen had an active search and arrest warrant for extradition, specifically requested by Interpol Group 2 in connection with the charge of wilful homicide.
Failed Escape in the Vicinity
At the moment the officers informed him of the existence of the international requirement, the suspect fled on foot at high speed. The fugitive ignored police orders to stop, which forced authorities to initiate an immediate pursuit through the area. Officers managed to apprehend him a short distance away and proceeded with his formal arrest. Added to the existing charges was a crime of resistance and disobedience to law enforcement officers.
Remand in Custody Pending Extradition
The Tui Civil Guard unit filed the corresponding police reports. Once procedures were completed, the detainee was transferred under custody to Court of First Instance and Instruction number 3 in Tui. After taking his statement and assessing the seriousness of the facts alleged at the international level, the judicial authority immediately ordered his remand in custody, pending the activation of legal mechanisms for the extradition process.
