A U.S. national, named by Diario Sur as F.L.P., aged 54, who was wanted for crimes in both Spain and Belgium has been arrested in Fuengirola.

Acting on information that he may have moved to this part of the Costa del Sol, police had been keeping the area under surveillance and took him into custody as he was leaving a shop in the Miramar district of Fuengirola on December 13.

He was wanted on an arrest warrant for alleged money laundering which was issued by Spain in April 2010, and on a European warrant from 2007 issued by the authorities in Belgium for fraud, money laundering and illicit association.
