One of Europe’s most-wanted criminals and alleged cartel boss, Karim Bouyakhrichan, was released from prison accidentally due to a judicial mix-up in Spain, according to multiple reports.
Police arrested Bouyakhrichan, the alleged “Mocro Maffia” leader, in January after a five-year-long money laundering investigation, according to Politico. The 46-year-old, known as “Taxi,” was released due to confusion over an extradition request by the Dutch government. He has since vanished, the BBC reported.
