"ROME -- A Slovak fugitive who had been on the run for 16 years was finally arrested when he turned up in Milan to support his national ice hockey team at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, police said Friday. The 44-year-old man, who was not named, was wanted by Italian authorities for a series of thefts committed in 2010. The carabinieri managed to track down and arrest the man Wednesday after he checked into a campsite in the outskirts of Milan, thanks to an automatic alert from the campsite reception."
"The fugitive was then taken to Milan's San Vittore prison to serve a pending sentence of 11 month and 7 days, the carabinieri said. The man did not manage to see the opening game in which Slovakia's hockey team beat Finland with a sound 4-1 at Milan's Santagiulia Arena on Wednesday. Copyright © 2026 by The Associated Press.
