High-Profile Fugitive Rabih Alkhalil Arrested Overseas
A high-profile fugitive who escaped a British Columbia prison three years ago has been arrested overseas, police confirmed.
Rabih “Robby” Alkhalil, who broke out of the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam in July 2022, was arrested this month in Qatar, according to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU). Alkhalil escaped while on trial for murder with the help of two men who posed as contractors.
He has been a prominent figure on Canada’s Bolo 25 Most Wanted list for the past two years, with a reward for information leading to his capture reaching as high as $250,000. As of early September, a $50,000 reward was still being offered to tipsters.
“Rabih Alkhalil is an extremely dangerous individual,” said Bolo program director Max Langlois in October 2022. “He has a lengthy criminal record, he is a twice-convicted murderer, he has extensive ties to organized crime.”
Alkhalil was convicted in absentia following his escape. Authorities, including the RCMP and Interpol, are now working to have him returned to Canada.
