One of the last key suspects in the Rwandan genocide has been captured in a Paris suburb after more than 20 years on the run.
Félicien Kabuga, “one of the world’s most wanted fugitives” who is alleged to have been a leading figure in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi and moderate Hutus in Rwanda, was arrested Saturday in a joint operation with French authorities, the United Nations (UN) said in a statement.
The 84-year-old was living under a false identity in a flat in Asnières-Sur-Seine, a Paris suburb, according to a press release from the public prosecutor and regional police.
He was arrested on Saturday morning by French gendarmes, France’s Justice Ministry told Reuters.
