The article reports on the arrest of a 44-year-old Belgian woman in Orihuela, Spain, who had been evading a European Arrest Warrant issued by Belgian authorities for committing fraud by declaring herself insolvent. This fraudulent act allowed her to evade paying a compensation of €5,219 to her victim. She was involved in various offenses from 2020 to 2024, which included property damage and aggression linked to her fraudulent activities.

The authorities in Spain received an alert from the International Fugitive Group within the General Police Judicial Commissioner, indicating that she might be residing in Alicante. Following an investigation, police tracked her down to Orihuela, where they executed a successful arrest operation. This highlights the collaborative efforts between Spanish and Belgian law enforcement agencies in pursuing fugitives across borders.

The woman had previously fled justice after being sentenced to two years in prison for her fraudulent actions in Antwerp. Her case exemplifies the complexities of cross-border justice and the importance of international cooperation in catching fugitives who attempt to evade legal responsibilities by relocating to other countries.
