The problem is common enough that there is now a standard phrase for there criminals - “crypto fugitive”.

Wondering why he seems to have picked Serbia as a place to hide. Fewer extradition treaties or just enough corruption he can pay people off to hide him?

Thanks.

> In Serbia and neighbouring countries, rules and regulations are possibly sidelined if you have enough cash

I guessed about right. Also a small chance of extradition.

Modifying "fugitive" with the context of said fugitive doesn't really exemplify the commonness of those type of fugitive.
