End of the run for a 21-year-old Portuguese who was under a European arrest warrant. Wanted for a year by the Portuguese justice, he was arrested in the Paris region last Wednesday by the police of the National Fugitive Search Brigade (BNRF) of the central direction of the PJ.
Man shot twice in the head
Thanks to information collected and transmitted via the ENFAST network, which brings together police services specializing in the search for fugitives in Europe, French investigators have been put on the trail of this man suspected of murder in Portugal. On July 23, 2019, a brawl between rival gangs broke out in the middle of the night in front of a nightclub in Boliqueime, in the Algarve. The suspect then took out a 9mm automatic pistol and shot a man twice in the head.
On the country's most wanted list
Since then, Antonio M. could not be found by the Portuguese authorities who had placed him on the list of the most wanted people in the country. The investigations and surveillance carried out by the French police in recent days have made it possible to locate and identify the young man in a pavilion in La Norville, in Essonne, according to information collected by Europe 1. He was arrested and imprisoned at home arrest of Fresnes, while waiting to appear in front of the French justice for his future extradition to Portugal where he will have to answer the charges which weigh on him.
