One of the largest suspected drug traffickers in the world, Sergio Roberto de Carvalho, a former Brazilian army major, has been arrested in Hungary after a prolonged manhunt.
On June 21, Carvalho was arrested living under a fake identity in Hungary, after a joint operation by local and Portuguese investigators. Few details about the arrest have been released but it appears he had been living in the country using a fake Mexican passport.
After being arrested in Spain under another fake name in 2020, Carvalho had disappeared without a trace. Carvalho was rumored to have spent time in Portugal, Ukraine and Dubai since fleeing from Spain.
Interpol reported on 22 June 2022 that De Carvalho had been arrested in Budapest, having been wanted internationally by the Brazilian police since 2020. Hungarian police said "a criminal organization led by a Brazilian man was responsible for smuggling at least 45 tons of cocaine between 2017 and 2019.
