Marek Dawid Legiec, 32, accused of leading a drug trafficking organization, is the fifth fugitive arrested from . On this occasion, the fugitive was not surprised by the agents while he was sleeping, or while on the move. He turned himself in at the Murcia police station, claiming that he could no longer bear “the pressure” that had been added to his already complicated life on the run, that he had been included in the . When he was in front of the agents he told them his movements had been “almost completely” limited and he was living in an “unsustainable situation,” the National Police stated this Friday in a statement. There are still five fugitives on the list.
Dawid, claimed by Polish authorities and considered very dangerous, has an athletic build and has brown eyes, as well as a mole on his left temple. One of his most striking characteristics are his tattoos, on his legs, neck and arms. The most peculiar is that of a spider web, drawn on his elbow.
In 2022, the Polish authorities warned that it was possible that he was in Spain, so the agents of the fugitive group began looking for him. Investigators realized that he took great security measures, such as using fictitious names or frequently changing residences. Since none of the usual investigative resources served to find his whereabouts, they decided to include themselves in the list of the 10 most wanted. And the media impact of this initiative did the rest.
The fugitive allegedly led a criminal organization dedicated to international drug trafficking with branches in Spain, Poland and Germany to which drug shipments worth more than one million euros are attributed. He had a European arrest and surrender warrant issued by Poland.
With some frequency, detained fugitives tell the police how they have tried to hide or even show them some relief because, by putting the shackles on them, their escape from justice ends and they can rest. The researchers themselves even talk about fugitives enzulatedthose who do not leave their homes and delegate all the provisioning tasks to the people who accompany them. There are also those who completely change their appearance to avoid being recognized, even with cosmetic surgery. Diego Darío González Ghersi, one of those detained in the 2022 most wanted campaign for sexually abusing his minor daughter, had grown his hair long and had a beard and had dyed them blonde and used colored contact lenses. In addition, he used colored contact lenses, insoles to falsify his height, and modified his tattoos to hide the ones he already had.
The last of those arrested for this campaign was at the end of November. Heredia, 47, had been on the run for a decade to avoid serving a 15-year prison sentence for a murder committed in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo) in 2009.
These are the five fugitives who are still on the list:
Baltasar Vilar Durándrug trafficking. The police highlight the large size of his ears and his prominent Adam’s apple.
Álvaro Pasquin Morasexual abuse. On his chest he has the phrase “the die is cast” tattooed.
Alberto Severo de Sousa Madureiramurder. He has a slim build, white skin, brown hair and brown eyes.
According to Cousido Vieitesconvicted pedophile. He is 1.80 meters tall, has a large build and has dark eyes and hair.
José Manuel Canela Vázquezdrug trafficking. He has shaved brown hair, with marked alopecia, and an athletic build.
The Police ask that anyone who can provide any information about his whereabouts contact him confidentially via email. Interior points out that not everyone can be in Spain and remembers that the campaign has the collaboration of the European Network of Active Search Teams for Fugitives (ENFAST in its English acronym).
