Bulgarian fugitive arrested in Barbados

The Royal Barbados Police Force has arrested a Bulgarian national who was wanted by the Antigua and Barbuda Police Force.

Thirty-nine-year-old Martin Mititrov Dachenski was arrested onboard the cruise ship MSC Fantasia about 8 a.m. today. 

Dachenski is wanted by the Criminal Investigations Department in Antigua.

He was on bail from the court there having been arrested and charged with electronic fraud and larceny in December 2017.

He subsequently fled the jurisdiction to Guadeloupe, later journeyed to St Lucia and then to Barbados onboard the Fantasia. 

As investigations continue, it is anticipated that Dachenski will be repatriated to authorities in Antigua and Barbuda. (PR/NB)
