Mohamed Gaaloul, the 29-year-old Tunisian under investigation for the murder of Alice Neri, was arrested in France, on the border with Switzerland.
He is accused of having murdered the 32-year-old woman found charred in his car in Fossa di Concordia, in the Modena area, on 18 November.
The carabinieri of Modena had arrived at the identification of him after investigations with visions of television cameras and numerous interrogations.
He had gone abroad the day after the crime for which other people, his husband and a work colleague were initially investigated.
But in recent days it had become clear that the main suspect was the wanted Tunisian.
Mohamed Bedoui Gaaloul was captured this morning in Mulhouse (France) by the judicial police service of the local commissariat, with the support of the Research and Intervention Brigade of Strasbourg.
The man was the recipient of a European arrest warrant issued on November 30 by the Gip of the Court of Modena, at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
The suspect, explains a note from the Public Prosecutor's Office, was wanted in Europe through the fruitful collaboration with Eurojust, whose contribution "was indispensable for the purposes of judicial and police cooperation, ensured through the International Police Cooperation Service with France, Switzerland, Greece, Germany and the Netherlands".
