B.C. fugitive Rabih Alkhalil arrested in Qatar after 3 years on the run: RCMP
Rabih Alkhalil, on Canada's most-wanted list, was arrested after a three-year international search involving RCMP and Qatar's Ministry of Interior.
- This month, RCMP said Rabih Alkhalil was taken into custody in Qatar while living under an alias after escaping the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, Port Coquitlam, B.C., in 2022.
- On July 21, 2022, two men posing as contractors used a white Econoline van to help him break out, and the Bolo Program later placed him atop its list of 25 most-wanted fugitives.
- The 38-year-old has an extensive criminal record and violent history, with convictions in a 2012 Toronto murder and a separate 2012 Vancouver murder.
- Authorities said work is underway with Interpol to secure Alkhalil's return, while the RCMP announced charges against three alleged accomplices, with two arrested and one at large.
- Max Langlois said the arrest `marks the end of one of the most complex fugitive investigations Bolo has seen since its creation,` as the three-year international search involved RCMP's Federal Policing Pacific Region and Qatar's Ministry of Interior.
