Fugitive Canadian priest living in Belgium

Source: CBC News

A Canadian priest living in Belgium is wanted in Nunavut for alleged sex crimes against children between 1978 and 1982, but it is not known whether he will be extradited back to Canada.

Rev. Eric Dejaeger, 63, who was born in Belgium, is on Interpol's list of wanted fugitives for "crimes against children," based on an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the Nunavut Court of Justice in 2002.

Dejaeger contacted Belgian justice authorities on Monday, then was questioned by police in the city of Leuven, prosecutors told the Reuters news agency.

The prosecutors said Dejaeger was released, since he is not wanted on charges in Belgium and no Canadian extradition order was in place.
