The photo of Sebastian Normandin now appears on a list of about 60 fugitives canadians searched in 190 countries through Interpol, learned The Newspaper.

Normandin, 47 years, is the subject of a ” red notice “, or the type of opinion research was launched to find the murderer Luka Rocco Magnotta in Germany, in 2012, at the request of the SPVM. Such a measure is still in force against the Hells Angel David “Wolf” Carroll, who has made a false hope to police in quebec before the operation Spring of 2001.

The fugitive who qualifies as an intellectual, however, is far from having the profile of these criminals.

He then travelled in France, where it has lost its trace, according to the prosecution witness recounted in court.

Taunt the police ?

The fugitives are usually all to disappear in the nature without attracting attention. But Normandin continues to speak regularly on social networks. A little as if he wanted to put the police to the challenge of the location of the computer or the cell phone that he uses.

“From incurable diseases and the war, the prison is one of the worst things that exist. Avoid at all cost “, he épilogué on Facebook on 27 December, adding that ” The State is not your friend “.
