ARCHIVED - British fugitive extradited from Spain is charged with murder
David Ungi was nabbed in Malaga on the Costa del Sol in May this year
A 31-year-old Brit extradited from Spain earlier this year over a shooting in Merseyside seven years ago has been charged with murder.
David Ungi, also known by the aliases David Riccio and Junior, was on the Spanish National Crime Agency’s most wanted fugitives list after fleeing the UK following the killing of teen Vincent Waddington.
The 18-year-old Waddington was shot at through a car window and rammed off a motorbike in the Garston area of Liverpool in July 2015.
Ungi, who has also been charged with causing grievous bodily harm, fled to Spain where he hid out in the Malaga town of Coín before Spanish police caught up with him entering a gym with two pals on May 5.
When he was apprehended, several firearms and 15 kilograms of cocaine were seized in the house the group shared.
At the time of his arrest, the British Crime Agency described Ungi as a “very dangerous person,” adding that his capture was “very good news for communities both in Liverpool and Spain.”
