Although it was initially suspected that the man had fled to Morocco, numerous actions have been taken in recent weeks in the region around Antwerp. After all, the researchers had found elements that showed that he would be more than likely to hide in Antwerp. That suspicion was confirmed during the Easter weekend when the man took the flight after a police check, so there was no doubt about his presence in Belgium. After a few days of intensive investigation under the leadership of the Antwerp public prosecutor’s office, the Fugitive Active Search Team, in close collaboration with the Antwerp police zone and the Federal Judicial Police Antwerp, the person concerned was able to locate in the port of Antwerp last Wednesday. « Thanks to the determination of the researchers and magistrates, the fugitive in the late afternoon could be won by the fast response team of PZ Antwerp, » says the federal police. After his arrest, he was transferred to the Antwerp prison.
