A notorious French fugitive who staged a deadly escape last year has appeared in a Romanian court. A nine-month international police hunt culminated in his arrest in Bucharest.

Romania had vowed to hand the high-profile convict over to the French authorities, despite him contesting his detention.

The 30-year-old convict is accused of gangland murders and drug trafficking.
