Plescan, 35, went on the run in 2001 and managed to escape capture by getting married abroad, and then adopting his wife's name to become Viorel Andrei.

He was arrested when Romanian police investigating a minor traffic offence linked Viorel Andrei to the on-the-run Viorel Plescan - and discovered to their amazement he was the anchorman on a prime time TV programme.
He was wanted by police in Galati over cheque fraud but fled to Piatra-Neamt, a town 250km away. He must now serve eight years in jail for the conviction he got in 2001. In addition, police are now investigating him for using a false identity.
