Police say an Italian man wanted in the slaying of a Belgian policeman 25 years ago has been arrested at Frankfurt Airport.
The man _ identified only as Francesco B. _ was nabbed after arriving at the airport from Venezuela and trying to board a flight to Turin, Italy, on Monday.
Officials said Tuesday they identified him after realizing his Venezuelan identity documents were forgeries.
Federal police were then able to determine that he was the suspect in the killing of the policeman and took him into custody on a European arrest warrant.
He is alleged to have killed the police officer during a 1982 armored car heist in Belgium and then fled to South America.
