Amman, Oct. 4 (Petra) — A fugitive facing five judicial warrants and
a 20-year prison sentence was arrested in east Amman after
investigators tracked his whereabouts and set up an ambush, the

The man is wanted in connection with cases involving indecent
assault, kidnapping and drugs, according to the spokesperson.

He will be handed over to the relevant judicial authorities to
