On of Austria’s most wanted fugitives arrested

On 23 May 2017 a 32-year old suspect  was arrested in Kosovo. The individual was wanted by the Austrian authorities for several cases of burglary, theft and severe violence. In addition, he gravely injured an Austrian police officer in 2009 during a routine control by stabbing him several times in the chest. The individual was a high priority target for the Austrian FAST team of the Criminal Intelligence Service Austria (BK). He was publicly sought for by the Austrian police as “Most Wanted Person”. Since 2016, he has also been on the “Europe’s Most Wanted” website of the European law enforcement network ENFAST supported by Europol. As a result of complex investigations, the Austrian authorities successfully located the suspect and initiated the lengthy legal process with a view to extradite the suspect from Kosovo. This arrest marks the 200th investigative success for the Austrian FAST team since its launch in January 2003.
