Fugitive 'the Fly' Extradited From Romania to France

Mohamed Amra, a French fugitive, has been extradited to France from Romania. His arrest took place near a Bucharest shopping center, ending a nine-month international manhunt. Amra, also known as "the Fly," had evaded capture by dyeing his hair red. He was involved in a prison escape last year in Normandy, which resulted in the deaths of two guards and serious injury to three others.

Amra fled after being sentenced for burglary in Evreux. He was also under investigation for attempted homicide and a fatal kidnapping. French President Emmanuel Macron said his capture was a "formidable success." Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau connected Amra to Marseille's organized crime syndicates, suspecting his involvement in drug trafficking.

Interpol issued a notice for Amra's arrest. After his capture, 25 individuals were detained in connection to his escape. The Bucharest Court of Appeal approved the extradition swiftly. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
