BBC One - Fugitives, Series 2, Episode 1

Fugitive hunters in Spain chase a drugs kingpin who sold almost a tonne of cocaine.

Fugitive hunters in Spain chase an elusive drugs kingpin who sold almost a tonne of cocaine, while police in Derby want to send a convicted Polish kidnapper back home.

The Metropolitan Police’s extradition team is out before dawn in north west London gathering intelligence when a new job comes in - an arrest warrant for a man wanted in Romania becomes the team’s top priority. Five years ago, Dorin Oprean was convicted of an attempted rape against an 11-year-old, and he has seven years left to serve in prison. How quickly can the team get this high risk offender off the streets?

In 2013, an investigation by an elite team of Scotland Yard detectives into the biggest organised crime gangs in London uncovered the drugs kingpin behind a multimillion pound racket. By making his own drugs delivery, Paul Monk blew his cover and, when his associates were arrested, fled abroad. Working with Spanish authorities, British officers tracked him to a town near Benidorm. A coded document found in his luxury villa would eventually reveal the true extent of Monk’s crimes.

And the Derbyshire police unit, who specialise in searching for people who have a history of committing crime abroad, are on the trail of a convicted Polish kidnapper. It is the job of the Foreign National Intelligence team to find him and return him to his home country.
