A suspected drug trafficker considered one of Europe’s most wanted fugitives has been arrested in Mexico, authorities said on Saturday. János Balla, also known as Dániel Takács, was captured in Quintana Roo, a southern Mexican state, according to Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch. Balla is wanted in Hungary on drug trafficking charges and is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice, García said.
Tracked Through Cooperation
Balla was located through intelligence shared by Hungarian security agencies and investigative work by Mexican authorities, according to a joint statement.
Deportation Underway
He was turned over to Mexico’s immigration agency “to determine his immigration status and continue his controlled deportation process to Europe,” the statement said.
It was not immediately clear whether Balla has legal representation.
