Prosecutors say Dutch police have arrested an Albanian wanted in Greece in connection with a spectacular prison break.
Ruth Gorissen of the Amsterdam public prosecutor's office says Panagiot Papa has been arrested and will likely be extradited to Greece.
Papa is suspected of involvement in the 2006 jail break of Greek bank robber Vassilis Paleokostas and Albanian Alket Rizaj, a convicted murderer.
Both men escaped from Korydallos prison in a helicopter but later were recaptured. But they escaped again in a hijacked helicopter last month and remain on the run.
Gorissen said Thursday she had no details of when or where Papa was arrested.
