French Drug Lord 'The Fly' Captured in Romania After Nine Months on the Run

Mohamed Amra, France's most-wanted criminal, was arrested in Bucharest following a violent prison break that left two guards dead.

Mohamed Amra, nicknamed 'The Fly,' was apprehended in Bucharest, Romania, after being on the run for nine months following a deadly prison break in France.
The May 2024 escape, orchestrated by armed accomplices, resulted in the deaths of two prison guards and injuries to three others, highlighting escalating violence in France's drug underworld.
Amra had altered his appearance and was reportedly planning to undergo cosmetic surgery in Romania before fleeing to Colombia.
The arrest involved collaboration between French and Romanian authorities, with over 400 investigators contributing to the search effort, aided by phone surveillance of an associate.
Amra, a career criminal with a long history of offenses, is suspected of orchestrating murders from prison and will soon be extradited to France to face further charges.
