Romanian police are trying to locate a Turkish citizen after he did not return to Rahova Penitentiary, where he was incarcerated for murder. Abdullah Atas is now subject of a nationwide search, while a court issued a European arrest warrant on his name.
In August 2015, Abdullah Atas killed a police officer who had signaled him to stop, intentionally hitting him with his car and carrying him on the hood of the vehicle for several hundred meters. Subsequent tests showed that Atas had consumed alcohol.
