Interpol searching for Czech fugitive; man in question at home with clean record

The International Criminal Police Association, Interpol, has been searching for a 34-year-old Czech man, Vítězslav Mráček, who they say escaped from a Belgian prison. It emerged Thursday however that the Mr Mráček in question is apparently at home in the Czech Republic and has never been charged with a crime. According to the daily Právo, police became aware of a case of mistaken identity on Wednesday after visiting the alleged fugitive’s residence. Belgian authorities have stated that the escapee was serving a six-year sentence for larceny.
