Poznan police catch one of Europe's most wanted criminals

Police in the city of Poznan have arrested a Hungarian gangster, one of Europe's most wanted criminals, who had been on the run for eight years. The man is under court arrest in Poland awaiting extradition to Hungary. A police spokesperson said a specialist police unit known as the 'Head Hunters' had seized Zoltan Plank in the town of Kepno in south-central Poland. Inspector Mariusz Ciarka said that Plank "is suspected of ordering the murder of his partner. He took part in an attack on a group of Chinese citizens, during which a shooting occurred with the use of a Kalashnikov rifle. He is also responsible for the theft of EUR 1.5 million in cash."
