Czech man on run for 25 years arrested in Argentina

Police in Argentina have arrested a Czech man who has been on the run from the law for 25 years, Seznam Zprávy reports.

Josef Šindelek was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison back in 1998 for fraud. His sentence was later reduced to 30 months, but he fled the country instead. The Czech police have been looking for him since then.

The Argentinian police apprehended him in the border city of Puerto Iguazú in the northeast of the country on the morning of Friday, November 3, as he was travelling from Paraguay to Argentina.
