‘Finger cutter’ drug lord arrested in Switzerland

Flor Bressers, on Belgian and Europol most-wanted lists, has been on the run since 2020

One of Europe's most-wanted drug lords, a Belgian with a master's degree in criminology, has been arrested in Switzerland after two years on the run.

Flor Bressers, 30, nicknamed the finger cutter", has been sought since 2020 when he was given a four-year jail sentence for kidnapping, slashing with a razor and beating a Dutch florist who failed to smuggle drugs past UK customs.
