A MAN who raped a woman in Scotland has been named as one of Britain's 'most wanted' suspects who have fled to the Netherlands.
Rezgar Zengana, 31, is being sought by Police Scotland after he posed as a taxi driver and raped a 25-year-old woman in Edinburgh.
Zengana fled in 2008 after being convicted of rape at the High Court in Glasgow.
Police believe he is at large in Holland and yesterday issued an appeal for information of his whereabouts.
The rapist was one of eight 'most wanted' criminals suspected of offences including drug smuggling and rape who are thought to be hiding in the Netherlands.
The rogues gallery includes accused or convicted members of organised crime networks who have fled justice in the UK and are thought to be hiding in or around Amsterdam.
Hank Cole, head of international operations for the NCA, said: "The NCA and its partners continue to pursue fugitives relentlessly."
Crimestoppers' list features Robert Gerrard, 50, Mark Fitzgibbon, 42, and Michael Moogan, 28, all from Liverpool, Mark Liscott, 53, originally from Birmingham, Thomas Tooth, 30, and Liam Fynes, 56, both Greater Manchester, and James Tarrant, 58, Waltham Abbey, Essex.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
