After DNA test, arrest warrant issued against Moldovan criminal

An international arrest warrant has been issued for Tiganciuc Serghei, a Moldovan citizen suspected of causing an accident in the capital a week ago in which seven people were injured, the Budapest police (BRFK) said on Friday.

The warrant has been issued by a Budapest court for the 27-year-old suspect, on the basis of additional investigations that involved a DNA test, BRFK said on polie.hu. The accident had happened when the driver of an Audi S8 carried on driving when police tried to stop the car and, chased by police, collided with another car. The driver fled from the site. A European arrest warrant was back then issued for the Moldovan driver who was under deportation from Hungary on people smuggling charges at the time.

But later it was suspected that the accident might have been caused by the Moldovan man’s brother who had a similar appearance and the two might have regularly used each other’s identities.
