Germany’s most wanted criminal has been captured outside a pub in Hamburg’s redlight district ending a nine-year manhunt, police said on Friday.
德國頭號通緝犯已在漢堡市紅燈區的一間酒館外落網，結束9年的緝捕行動，警方週五表示。
Thomas Wolf, 56, a talented linguist who eluded police with multiple aliases, told investigators after his arrest late on Thursday that he expected them to nab him sooner or later.
56歲的湯瑪斯．沃爾夫，精通多國語言且利用多個假名躲避警方。他在週四晚間被捕後告訴調查人員，他預期到警方遲早會把他逮捕歸案。
Wolf, who had been on the run since 2000 after fleeing while serving a prison sentence for bank robbery, has remained silent about the whereabouts of a 1.8 million euros ransom he extorted from a kidnapping this year, police said.
因為銀行搶案坐牢，但自2000年起逃亡的沃爾夫，一直對於自己今年從某件綁架案勒索到的180萬歐元贖金下落保持沉默。
He also stole hundreds of thousands of euros in bank robberies across northern Europe while on the run, they said.
他也在歐洲北部逃亡期間犯下多起銀行搶案，偷走數十萬歐元。
"It all ended very fast. He appeared to be baffled and had no chance of resisting arrest," a Hamburg police spokesman told ARD television.
「整件事結束得非常快。他似乎感到大惑不解，而且沒有拒捕的機會，」漢堡市警局一名發言人告訴ARD電視台。
Federal police investigator Joern Blicke said Wolf had been under observation in Hamburg for several days after authorities got a tip-off.
聯邦警署調查員霍恩．布利克說，在當局獲得線報後，沃爾夫已在漢堡市被監控數天。
