French Fugitive 'The Fly' Caught After Deadly Escape
A notorious French fugitive who staged a deadly escape last year appeared in a Romanian court Sunday after a nine-month international police hunt culminated in his arrest in Bucharest. Mohamed Amra, sporting dyed red hair possibly meant to disguise his identity, flashed a big smile at onlookers as he was escorted by police in and out of the courthouse. Ten other people in Amra’s entourage were arrested overnight, suspected of participating in the preparation and execution of his escape last year and helping him hide once he was on the run.
