A fugitive from the United States of America (USA), who was hiding in South Africa, was last week sentenced to 72 months imprisonment with three supervised probation sentences.

The fugitive, Mr Eyal Dulin, was arrested in Cape Town in April this year during a joint operation between the US Secret Service and the City of Cape Town’s Metro Police Department.

Members of the Metro Police K9 Unit assisted with the arrest, which took place in Strandfontein.

This week the US Secret Service commended the City’s Metro Police for their assistance in securing the perimeters of the location where Mr Dulin was hiding as well as with his apprehension and transportation.

The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman J.P. Smith, congratulated the Metro Police for their assistance in the apprehension of Mr Dulin.

“This case is a good example of the effectiveness and importance of having a good working relationship and level of cooperation between the City’s law enforcement teams and international bodies,” said Ald. Smith.
