Mexico City: A Dutch drug trafficker who was one of Europe's most wanted criminals and once reportedly faked his own death has been murdered in Mexico, an official said Friday.
Marco Ebben, 32, was shot on Thursday in Atizapan de Zaragoza, a municipality about 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the capital Mexico City.
Experts confirmed Ebben's identity, an official at the state prosecutor's office told AFP, asking not to be named because they were not authorized to talk about the case.
European law enforcement agency Europol listed Ebben as one of Europe's "most wanted fugitives" for smuggling drugs from Brazil to the Netherlands.
Its website says he was sentenced in October 2020 to more than seven years in prison.
