0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Come on!- On the run... - Get back here!
0:00:05 > 0:00:08- ..and over here. - Hands out, now! Hands out!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11When foreign criminals flee their home countries,
0:00:11 > 0:00:13many hide out in the UK.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17- Give me your hands.- But if they think they're safe, they're wrong.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19They know they're wanted.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22A lot of these people are waiting for that knock on the door.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26But the traffic in fugitives isn't all one-way.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Across Europe, there are hundreds of British criminals also trying to
0:00:30 > 0:00:32escape justice.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34From the sun-drenched Costas
0:00:34 > 0:00:38to the busy streets of the Dutch capital,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41this is how the police take down the fugitives...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43You're under arrest under the Extradition Act.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Police officer!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..both at home and abroad.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57On today's programme...
0:00:57 > 0:01:01the Met go in search of a violent robber with a history
0:01:01 > 0:01:02of going on the run.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Dave, come here.- Yeah.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07You've been issued a European arrest warrant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Sunny Cyprus, a notorious hideout for British fugitives.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16They think they can hide beyond the reach of the taxman or the British
0:01:16 > 0:01:18police because they go to Cyprus,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and that perhaps attracts a specific type of criminal.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Including this multimillion-pound fraudster
0:01:24 > 0:01:27who thought he was untouchable.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30And after a run of bad luck...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:01:33 > 0:01:37West Yorkshire Police track down a man who should be
0:01:37 > 0:01:39in an Eastern European prison.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Hello, it's the police. They've issued a warrant for your arrest,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44because they want you to go back to Poland
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and serve a custodial sentence.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54London - an international city
0:01:54 > 0:01:57that attracts people from across the world.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Around 40% of the capital's population are from abroad.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Hidden amongst them are fugitives wanted in other countries.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Can you open the door, please? It's the police.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It's the job of the Metropolitan Police's
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Extradition Unit to find them and bring them to justice.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Just after 5am,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27and two detectives from the squad are hunting for a violent criminal
0:02:27 > 0:02:29on the run from Poland.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35DCs Dave Salmon and Jamie Darby are on the way to a house
0:02:35 > 0:02:38in South London where they believe he's holed up.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, we're two minutes from the address.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45This gentleman is Marek Dziewulski.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51He's wanted for a nasty robbery which happened in Poland in 2010.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55During the course of this robbery in Poland, he's stolen some money.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59This robber has been arrested
0:02:59 > 0:03:01by the Extradition Unit before.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Three years ago, he was caught and sent back to Poland,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07but before he could be sentenced by the court,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11he managed to leave his native country and return to the UK.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We've done some intelligence research,
0:03:14 > 0:03:19and we've pinpointed this address in Lewisham, in Catford,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21so we'll go and knock on the door,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and we'll see what we'll get when we get there.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28They pull up on the corner and quietly make their way
0:03:28 > 0:03:30to the house on foot.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41When they arrive,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Jamie heads round the back to check if there are any escape routes
0:03:44 > 0:03:46before Dave knocks on the front door.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10At the back, Jamie looks out for any movement at the windows.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Neither of the detectives can see any signs of life inside the house.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33But they're not about to give up.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hello, can you open the door, please?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39If someone is inside, they've nowhere else to go.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Jamie, somebody looked out here.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Can you open the door?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Eventually, a twitch of a curtain
0:04:54 > 0:04:56reveals people are at home after all.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The curtain's opening just slightly,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03but we can't see into the room, that's the problem.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06We can't ascertain who it is that's looking out.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Hopefully, they'll come down soon.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Yeah, it's twitching again.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Someone is definitely inside, but is it the man they're looking for?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25The back door is opened by a couple who live in the flat upstairs.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's a separate entrance.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32These two can't give the officers access to the ground-floor property.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So unless someone who lives downstairs
0:05:36 > 0:05:38can let them in through the front door,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40the detectives have little choice but to wait.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51At the moment, we've contained the premises.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55We've spoken to upstairs - they said he does live there,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57they've seen him yesterday,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00erm... It's probably a case that there's a good possibility
0:06:00 > 0:06:03that he's in there but not answering the door.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Legally, we can't force entry, cos we haven't seen him.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We have it contained from the back and the front,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17so I think we'll just give it some time
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and just see what happens during the course of the morning,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21see if he appears.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23That's about all we can do at the moment.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Later, they finally make it inside the right flat,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32but will they find the man they're looking for?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Hello?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Most fugitives go on the run following serious offences
0:06:40 > 0:06:44linked to drugs or violence.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47But a few commit crimes that are more difficult to spot.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50White-collar criminals take taxpayers' money
0:06:50 > 0:06:52to line their own pockets.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56That's why the job of hunting them is handled by the taxman.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01In Scotland, investigators who work alongside police in this
0:07:01 > 0:07:05state-of-the-art crime campus spent years on the trail
0:07:05 > 0:07:07of one notorious fraudster.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Businessman Michael Voudouri came to the attention of
0:07:13 > 0:07:16HM Revenue and Customs back in 2000.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Organised criminals such as Michael Voudouri will go to great
0:07:23 > 0:07:25lengths to disguise their wealth.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27They try and create a corporate veil
0:07:27 > 0:07:30that ultimately will throw us off the scent.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Using a web of companies around the world,
0:07:33 > 0:07:39Voudouri was able to hide £3.2 million in VAT from the taxman.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45The VAT was actually bounced through a number of those companies,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48and the net result of that was, at the end of those transactions,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50the VAT went missing.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53By fiddling his taxes,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Voudouri was able to spend the money on the finer things in life.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02He drove a very nice car, he had holidays, family holidays to Cyprus,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and this money helped fund that lifestyle.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07The good life didn't last, though.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12In 2004, the tax fraud landed Voudouri in court,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and then the slammer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Five years later,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Voudouri was out of prison and living in this Stirlingshire town.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's an affluent area,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31he lived in this fabulous house and, you know, he had all the assets,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34he had the lavish lifestyle.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38But Voudouri was still under intense scrutiny.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39In 2009,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43a journalist working for a current affairs programme
0:08:43 > 0:08:46investigated his financial affairs.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Samantha Poling wanted to know how an ex-con
0:08:49 > 0:08:51could afford such a big house,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55despite being ordered to pay back over £1 million
0:08:55 > 0:08:57in criminal proceeds.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Do you know what I think sticks in people's throat a little bit,
0:09:00 > 0:09:05though? Kenilworth Road is known locally as Millionaires' Row.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Mm-hm.- So possibly people would think, "Well, hold on...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14"He's living here because he made that money through crime,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16"that's why he's on Millionaires' Row."
0:09:16 > 0:09:19No, I'm living here because my father-in-law purchased the house.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22My father-in-law has been a businessman all his life.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24He saved enough money to purchase the house.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Voudouri also denied owning his fancy car.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33What about when people see the nice car?
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- That car there?- Yeah.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's on finance.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yes, I stole £3 million, I plead guilty,
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I went to jail.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42There is no £3 million.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Where's the money gone, then? - I spent it.- On what?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Having a good life.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50HMRC too were suspicious,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54as the bent businessman still seemed to be making money.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Whilst Michael Voudouri was in prison,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01HMRC started a second investigation.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05We believe that Michael Voudouri was involved in laundering the proceeds
0:10:05 > 0:10:08of crime and laundering the proceeds of tax fraud.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Over the course of their second investigation,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15tax officers tracked Voudouri's dirty money across five countries -
0:10:15 > 0:10:20as he laundered it through bank accounts and business transactions.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Somebody looking at it in pieces
0:10:23 > 0:10:27would probably see what looked like
0:10:27 > 0:10:29genuine financial transactions.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31However, when we unpicked it, it was a scam,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32it was a scam to launder the money
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and clean the money and bring it back to the UK.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40By 2012, they had enough evidence for a second prosecution.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Voudouri pleaded guilty to laundering another £11.5 million.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49But knowing he'd face a longer sentence this time,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53the businessman fled his home town and went into hiding.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56When we realised that he wasn't going to turn up in court,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59we were gutted, you know, we had put so much effort into this case
0:10:59 > 0:11:02and, you know, at that point in time, you think,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05"Will he ever turn up?"
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Coming up, the National Crime Agency
0:11:07 > 0:11:11joins the hunt for Scotland's Mr Big.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Just because they cross a border, does that mean that we stop,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16we don't bother? I don't think so.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Out on the streets of West Yorkshire,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28PC Dave Lockwood and his partner PC Tom Allen are searching for those
0:11:28 > 0:11:31wanted for crimes committed in other countries.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Today, they're looking for a Polish man convicted of car theft in his
0:11:37 > 0:11:41native country, but he's proving difficult to find.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We have information which has been provided
0:11:44 > 0:11:46from the National Crime Agency.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51This male is linked to three parts of the UK - there's Skipton,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Southampton and Leeds -
0:11:54 > 0:12:00and there's an address in each of those towns for this male.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02As I understand it, the other two addresses have been checked,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and it's a negative gain,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07so we've been asked to check our Leeds address for him.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10A lot of our checks have revealed him as NFA,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13no formal address or no fixed abode,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and he's scattered throughout the UK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20With this intelligence, Dave isn't optimistic.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24What's the chances now that we're going to get really lucky
0:12:24 > 0:12:29at this time, go to this address, and he be in the house?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32What do you think? That's a lot to ask, isn't it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Fugitives like this man stay on the move -
0:12:36 > 0:12:39renting rooms in shared houses to evade capture.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Hello, sorry to trouble you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42- Yes.- Are you OK?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Is any Polish living in here at all?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45One Polish man upstairs.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Can you show me t'room? I'll just talk to him if he's in.- Yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Ta. See if he knows him.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56This time, Dave's out of luck.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Thank you for your time. Oh, cheers.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02All the information is time-dependent,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and so if you sit on it,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07the information could be less valuable tomorrow.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09If the information is out of date,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13the inquiry at that address is then your next step towards finding out
0:13:13 > 0:13:15where they are.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17And it's almost a game of cat and mouse,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19and eventually we catch up with them.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It's on to the next case -
0:13:22 > 0:13:26checking out an address that could be connected to a Lithuanian man
0:13:26 > 0:13:28wanted for drugs offences.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Hello, mate, how are we doing?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42We're looking for this lad, and we've been given this address.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44A Lithuanian male.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Do you get any post in foreign names like that?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Does that name mean anything to you?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54The trail's gone cold.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57All right, pal, thanks for your time.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Cheers, buddy.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It's another dead end.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11English family, been there 12 months.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK. There we go, back to t'drawing board.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22This shift has been a frustrating one for Dave and Tom,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26but they know that sometimes persistence does pay off,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29and the door they knock will be the right one.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Have you got some ID, please?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Back in 2009,
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Michael Voudouri was an ex-con with a millionaire's lifestyle.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44He'd already served four years in jail
0:14:44 > 0:14:47for a multimillion-pound tax fraud,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50but still had a big house and a fancy car.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Seeking answers about his money,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Panorama reporter Samantha Poling interviewed him
0:14:56 > 0:14:59at his Stirlingshire home.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02If people want to perceive a big house and millions
0:15:02 > 0:15:03that were stolen and this and that,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06at the end of the day, what are the facts?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Yes, I stole £3 million, I plead guilty, I went to jail.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12There is no £3 million.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Where has the money gone? - I spent it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- On what?- Having a good life.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21In fact, Voudouri was up to his old tricks,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and in 2012 he admitted to laundering the proceeds
0:15:25 > 0:15:27of crime worth £11.5 million.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It was a scam to launder the money and clean the money and bring
0:15:32 > 0:15:34it back to the UK.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41But knowing he was about to face a second prison sentence,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42the businessman fled.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47When somebody absconds, then, you know, immediately,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49your head does go down,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52people start to worry about maybe him not coming back.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54However, that didn't last long.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Voudouri was now a wanted criminal.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01A warrant was issued for his arrest, and a manhunt began.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05We hoped he was still in Scotland, or within the United Kingdom,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10so really any addresses we had, any leads we had were followed up on.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It then became apparent to us that he may be in Cyprus,
0:16:15 > 0:16:16and that made sense,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19because Michael Voudouri has family in Cyprus,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20and some of his laundering,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24some of the proceeds of his crime were laundered through Cyprus.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29In recent years, Cyprus has become a notorious haven for fugitives.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33With expertise in tracking down criminals on the island,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36the National Crime Agency joined the hunt for Voudouri.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44They think they can hide beyond the reach of the taxman or the British
0:16:44 > 0:16:50police because they go to Cyprus, and that perhaps attracts, erm...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52a specific type of criminal.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58The agency dedicates a small team of officers to finding fugitives there.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03I have key individuals whose sole responsibility is to concentrate on
0:17:03 > 0:17:05working with the British authorities,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07the Cypriot authorities,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10to find the people we think have fled to Cyprus
0:17:10 > 0:17:12and get them brought back to face justice.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So it's a small team...
0:17:14 > 0:17:17They're very, very good at their job.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23A campaign to publicise wanted people on Cyprus brought no leads.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25In the end, it was a familiar pitfall
0:17:25 > 0:17:27which would lead to his capture -
0:17:27 > 0:17:29a dodgy passport.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33We learned through the National Crime Agency
0:17:33 > 0:17:37that Michael Voudouri had been arrested in Cyprus,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39and he'd been arrested for immigration offences.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44When the police in Cyprus learned he was a fugitive from British justice,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46they moved swiftly to arrest him.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51He appeared before a judge at a court in Nicosia,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and plans were made to return the fraudster home.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57It meant that all our years of investigation wasn't wasted,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00you know, that he was going to come back and stand trial.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Once more, the game was up for Scotland's Mr Big.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05In May 2014,
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Voudouri was extradited to Edinburgh to again answer for his crimes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12We will do everything in our power to ensure that people
0:18:12 > 0:18:15like Michael Voudouri are brought back.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17This was stealing public funds, you know,
0:18:17 > 0:18:22and it's public funds that go to public services, that build schools,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24build hospitals, et cetera,
0:18:24 > 0:18:25so we have to send the message
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and make certain that, you know, that we won't let people
0:18:28 > 0:18:30away with this type of crime.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41It's 5.30 in the morning outside a house in South London.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Detectives from the Metropolitan Police
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Extradition Unit have been trying
0:18:46 > 0:18:49to gain entry for almost 20 minutes.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Can you open the door?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53They're looking for a violent offender
0:18:53 > 0:18:55who went on the run from Poland,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58and the investigation has led them to this door.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08But nobody's answering.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Quite often,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12with these multi-occupancy flats,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15there's always going to be one that might open the door, but...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17not in this case.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18We have it contained, anyway,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and I think what we might do is just set up nearby...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26..see if he raises his head.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29That's about all we can do at the moment.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33But just as Dave's getting ready for a long wait,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35round the back of the house
0:19:35 > 0:19:38his colleague Jamie has seen someone through a window.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40He's asked him to open the front door.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Good morning, I'm from the police.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47We need to speak to the people that live here.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49We need to come in, speak to everybody.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53The man who opens the door is not the one they're looking for.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- What happen? - How many people live here?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00They need to search the house and find out who is in each room.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03This is your room, and who's in these rooms?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05One guy is living here.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07OK. Are they in now?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And who is in this room?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12One of my...one of my colleagues.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Is he here?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18He's coming.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Did you know he was knocking? What's your name?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Marek.- They've got him.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's the Polish robber they've been looking for,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30and he knows why they're here.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32European arrest warrant, I'm sure you're aware.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33I am. Yeah.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- What have you got in your pockets there?- A phone.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The detectives handcuff the wanted criminal before taking him
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- out of the house.- They OK?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47He's been convicted of a violent offence,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49and they're not taking any chances.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59He's been arrested in this country before and escaped the law in Poland
0:20:59 > 0:21:02twice. But this time, he's not getting away.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Under the watchful eye of the two detectives,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14the captured fugitive is taken to a police station.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19This is where the process of sending him back to Poland begins.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Just stand there a second.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25That's it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31We're really pleased, a fantastic result today.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36It could have been a long morning of sitting outside the address.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Eventually, the guys that went around the back,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43they had a result when the person looked out, opened the front door,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- went in.- Do you understand why you've been arrested?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51The minute we were in the door, the game was up for Marek.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55He looked resigned to his fate.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57He knew what the score was.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58He knew he was wanted.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00He knew what was in store.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03He was getting his money and bits and pieces together because he knows
0:22:03 > 0:22:05that he's probably going to prison.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Really fantastic result, very happy with it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Marek Dziewulski now faces a sentence of more than two years
0:22:14 > 0:22:16behind bars back in Poland.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28PC Dave Lockwood is one of the officers responsible
0:22:28 > 0:22:32for tracking down fugitives who are wanted for crimes in Europe
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and hiding somewhere in West Yorkshire.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36XWX-N60.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42We are just en route from Wakey to Leeds.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yeah, just to let you know, we're just about to go code six.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47But they're not easy to find.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Most of the people he's looking for keep on the move to stay one step
0:22:51 > 0:22:53ahead of the law.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56It is often frustrating work for extradition officers.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Hello.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08We're not looking for you, we're looking for somebody who might be
0:23:08 > 0:23:09residing in the flats.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12The targets can be elusive.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16All too often, the team will come away empty-handed.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18He did live here, and he did live here with his mum,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20so the intelligence was right.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23However, he's moved out.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25There we go, back to t'drawing board.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But Dave never gives up.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Another day, and another fugitive to track down.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38He's hoping the intelligence for his next case is accurate enough to lead
0:23:38 > 0:23:41him to the target.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Right, then, this gentleman is Polish.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49The man he is after is Jacek Andrzejczak,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and he's facing a year in prison for a crime he committed
0:23:52 > 0:23:54more than ten years ago.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57He's stolen a car and crashed it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So he's wanted for theft of that.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04And it's aggravated, obviously, cos he's crashed it.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10The house is in darkness - at first, it's not looking too promising.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Oh, no, could be somebody living here.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19We have four addresses,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and this is the most current, up-to-date one.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Hello, it's the police. I'm sorry for disturbing you at this time,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- you speak good English? - Somehow, yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37OK, are we OK to come in and have a chat with you, please?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Yeah?- Have you got some ID?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Do you live here on your own?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Yeah.- Have you got some ID, please?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Looks like him, but I'm not sure.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Anybody else live here?- Right, yeah.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Somebody else live here? Who else lives here?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- My friend.- What's his name?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Jacek.- Jacek, and what's his last name?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Er, Andrzejczak.- Is he here now?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Yes, he's sleeping.- Can you bring him downstairs, please?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Yes.- OK.- It's been two hours, he wake up now.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- WHISPERS:- That's our man, that's our man.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Robbo, he's saying there's another man that's in bed,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and he's given the name of our wanted person.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24He's at the right place,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and it seems Dave's found the right man.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28No ID?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30OK, just tell me your name, then, first, please.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Andrzejczak, Jacek.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Any middle name?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Andrzejczak.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Right. I know I've just woke you up,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40and I know it's early in the morning.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43There's a warrant been issued for your arrest.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Do you know about it?- No.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49No? OK, find your ID, we'll go downstairs and have a chat.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58I'm going to get him an interpreter,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00but I'm going to try and explain things now.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03If there's anything he doesn't understand,
0:26:03 > 0:26:04do you want to clarify for him, OK?
0:26:04 > 0:26:09There's a warrant been issued for your arrest in Poland, OK?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10And they're saying...
0:26:12 > 0:26:17In 2006, you've stolen a car and crashed it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Do you remember that?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21You remember that, right?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23They've issued a warrant for your arrest,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25because they want you to go back to Poland
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and serve a custodial sentence.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So I'm arresting you on a European arrest warrant,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32so you do not have to say anything, but anything you do say may be given
0:26:32 > 0:26:33in evidence.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40We're just going to get him changed
0:26:40 > 0:26:42so he's got some more suitable clothes for custody.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47That's a photocopy of your ID.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I'll take that, do you need that for anything?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Do you need that?- OK.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I'll take that, OK.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Do you want to take your bank card as well,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06in case you get out of court tomorrow and you're hungry,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- get some stuff?- Good night.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- See you later, good night. - Good night.- Good night.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I'm not sure if he's in drink, I'm sure I've smelt booze on him,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25but he seems... I know we've just woke him up at three o'clock
0:27:25 > 0:27:27in t'morning, but he seems not quite with it,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30so I think we'll get the nurse to check him out when he's down there,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32make sure he's all right. But he says he knows what the offence is,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36what it's on about, but he doesn't seem bothered at all, does he?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40The wanted man is taken to the police station,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42where he'll be kept in the cells overnight.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47His ten years on the run are over,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50and Dave's persistence has paid off.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58In February 2017,
0:27:58 > 0:28:03a judge ordered the extradition of Jacek Andrzejczak back to Poland.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07He has a year-long prison sentence to serve for an offence committed
0:28:07 > 0:28:09over ten years ago.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14The violent robber arrested in
0:28:14 > 0:28:19London in December 2016 has now been extradited back to Poland.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23And Michael Voudouri,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26who fled to Cyprus before he could be sentenced
0:28:26 > 0:28:28for a multimillion-pound tax fraud,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32is now serving an 11-and-a-half-year sentence.
