A French convict who went on the run after escaping a police van in a deadly ambush has been arrested in Romania, French authorities have said. Two prison officers were killed and three others injured when a vehicle carrying Mohamed Amra was attacked by men using military-grade assault weapons in May 2024. Amra, known as La Mouche, or The Fly, has links to a major drug gang in Marseille, according to French police. President Emmanuel Macron hailed his capture as “a formidable success” and said his thoughts were with the families of the prison officers who died.
