Über diesen Titel

 A Dutch fugitive convicted in absentia in 2010 spent nine years on the run — through Spain, Portugal and Greece, on four fake identities, paying in cash, leaving no digital trail. By 2019 he had settled in Mallorca and concluded, after nine quiet years, that the European Arrest Warrant was no longer being actively pursued. He began a routine. Every Thursday afternoon he ate lunch at the same beachfront restaurant — seafood platter, white wine, coffee, view of the Mediterranean. He photographed the meal. He posted it to Instagram. He let the platform attach the geotag. He used his actual face. He used the name on his most recent fake identity, which was traceable through standard means. A relative of one of his original victims, scrolling Instagram in Rotterdam, recognised him. She called the Dutch police. The Spanish Policia Nacional set up a surveillance position at the restaurant. The next Thursday, at the table he had been using for months, two plain-clothes officers were already seated — holding menus, ordering drinks. He arrived at 2 PM. He photographed his lunch. He was arrested before the food got cold. Maren and Ellis — sorry, Kit and Eden, on the geotag as a calendar invitation to the police, and on the fact that the European Arrest Warrant is, in every case, still active.
