Polish police extradite fugitive from justice to Brest
The Polish police on May 27 extradited to Belarus a 37-year-old Pinsk resident, who fled the country in 1997 after being released on his own recognizance.
The man is suspected of affiliation with a gang whose members were convicted following his escape by a Brest Regional Court judge.
The fugitive was entered in the Interpol list of wanted criminals in 1998, the Brest regional police office told BelaPAN. In 2000, the region's law-enforcement agencies found out that the escapee was serving a 3.5-year prison sentence in Poland. He was extradited to Belarus after he completed his Polish prison term.
The fugitive is currently held in a pretrial detention center in Brest.
