Czech Norbert Köhler among most wanted criminals in Spain

Czech Norbert Köhler has been included among the top-ten most wanted criminals in Spain, the Czech News Agency reported on Saturday, citing the Spanish media. The Spanish police have asked for the public's help in finding him.

The 44-year-old Czech, who was convicted in his home country for robberies linked to the so-called Berdych gang, is being investigated in Spain for transporting 212 kilograms of cocaine and laundering money obtained from drug smuggling.

Köhler was serving a seven-year sentence in a Spanish prison until 2007, when he was extradited to Czechia due to a case of cocaine trafficking from Ecuador. However, he fled the country following his release from custody.
