Serge Brammertz, the Chief Prosecutor of the Residual Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (RMICT), has said his team of investigators in collaboration with other organs relied on telephone and financial data, among others, to eventually arrest Félicien Kabuga this past weekend.
Kabuga, one of the key architects of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, was arrested Saturday, May 16, in a Paris suburb after more than two decades on the run.
Speaking to Rwanda Broadcasting Agency on Monday, May 18, Brammertz explained that Kabuga's arrest was a result of two years of investigation.
Brammertz said he could not go into operational details but explained that they later came to the conclusion that Kabuga could be either in the UK, France, or Belgium.
French prosecution and police said 85-year-old Kabuga was living under a false identity in the Paris suburbs.
