“In collaboration with Interpol Santo Domingo, we have successfully tracked down Robert Časar, who was apprehended in the Dominican Republic”, the Slovenian police tweeted. The police issued an international and European arrest warrant for Časar on March 20, 2014.

A foreigner with a temporary residence permit
Head of Slovenia's criminal police Branko Japelj said at a press conference that Časar had arrived in the Dominican Republic at the end of 2013—via Russia and Panama. Slovenian police had to wait as long as ten months to find out whether Časar had really moved to the Dominican Republic. On April 7, 2014, the police sent a request to the Interpol office in Santo Domingo, asking them to check whether Časar was there.

At the end of 2014, the Slovenian police received word from Interpol Santo Domingo that they were working on the case. In February 2015, the Interpol office said that Časar had been registered there as a foreigner with a temporary residence status since 2013.

Interpol Santo Domingo then told the Slovenian police that they intended to deport Časar. Časar was deported to France on Thursday because—according to Japelj—France has direct flight connections to the Dominican Republic. Now the Slovenian police have asked French authorities to extradite Časar.
