The National Police have successfully carried out the arrest in southern Tenerife of an international fugitive, wanted by Polish authorities, who was facing a 485-year prison sentence for a series of serious crimes.

Polish authorities had issued an arrest warrant for the subject, who had accumulated a substantial sentence for unspecified crimes, but which justified the severe penalty imposed.
International cooperation between security forces has been crucial in achieving this capture, demonstrating effectiveness in the pursuit of criminals seeking refuge beyond their borders.
