The Fugitive Active Search Team (FAST) of the Luxembourg Police has enlisted Europol’s support to seek public assistance in locating one of its high-priority fugitives. The individual, whose profile is now featured on the EU Most Wanted website, is accused of defrauding investors of approximately EUR 5.4 million by falsely presenting himself as a successful businessman and lawyer.
Operating under these false pretences, the 57-year-old suspect persuaded numerous investors to entrust him with funds, promising to channel their money into profitable projects. However, investigations have revealed that no such reinvestments occurred. Instead, the suspect allegedly established a complex network of opaque companies and foreign bank accounts to misappropriate the funds, which he used to finance his lavish personal lifestyle.
On 17 April 2024, a European Arrest Warrant and an International Arrest Warrant were issued for the suspect.
Authorities urge anyone with information, no matter how minor it may seem, to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously via the EU Most Wanted website.
