Alleged fugitive Albanian mafia boss Kujtim "Timmy" Lika was arrested Thursday in Toronto.
Lika was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s 'Most Wanted' list for "his participation in an international drug smuggling ring and criminal enterprise organization." The FBI started investigating him in late 2003 and in 2009 he was indicted by the District Court of New Jersey.
Toronto police have been searching for Lika since he arrived in Canada that year with two associates. The three men were on the run from the US authorities following a four-year sting dubbed "Operation Black Eagle," after the Albanian flag. The authorities were examining New Jersey and New York-based Balkan organized crime groups.
