British Fugitive Arrested in Dubai on Drug-trafficking Charges

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - One of Britain's most wanted fugitives, a 35-year-old suspected of involvement in a plot to traffic huge quantities of cocaine, has been arrested in Dubai, authorities said Sunday. 

Michael Paul Moogan, from Liverpool, had been on the run for eight years since a raid on a Rotterdam cafe that is suspected of being a front for meetings between drug traffickers and cartels.  The cafe was "central to a plot to bring hundreds of kilos of cocaine into the U.K. every week," Dubai police said in a statement.  Moogan used different identities to elude capture and entered the emirate under a false name and nationality.
