A fugitive on the run for years is arrested when he turns up at the Olympics to watch hockey
A Slovak fugitive who had been on the run for 16 years was finally arrested when he turned up in Milan to support his national ice hockey team at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, police said Friday. The 44-year-old man, who was not named, was wanted by Italian authorities for a series of thefts committed in 2010. The carabinieri managed to track down and arrest the man Wednesday after he checked into a campsite in the outskirts of Milan, thanks to an automatic alert from the campsite reception.
