Mohamed Amra Extradited to France After Nine-Month Manhunt

The fugitive narcotrafficker has been placed in high-security detention following his arrest in Romania and transfer to France.

Mohamed Amra, one of France's most wanted fugitives, was arrested in Bucharest, Romania, on February 22, ending a nine-month international manhunt.
Amra, 30, had escaped custody in May 2024 during a violent commando attack that killed two prison guards and injured three others.
After his extradition, Amra was formally charged in Paris with multiple crimes, including murder, attempted murder, and organized crime-related offenses.
He has been placed in isolation at the high-security prison of Condé-sur-Sarthe, where his movements and communications will be strictly monitored.
Authorities have arrested 22 individuals in connection with Amra's escape and operations, with investigations ongoing into his ties to organized crime networks.
