06.08.2010 - The 30-year-old was stopped as he disembarked a flight from Dublin and although he had no outstanding warrants for Spain he was held under an international arrest warrant and quickly sent to Madrid, where the National Criminal Court expedited his return to Bucharest. Police in Gran Canaria said he was part of a ring that duped young women and teenage girls into moving to various European countries to take up well-paid jobs only to find they were treated as slaves and obliged to work as prostitutes in clubs controlled by the ring. He had evaded capture since 2009.
