A woman accused of hiring someone to kill her wealthy Canadian husband on the U.S. Caribbean island of Puerto Rico was arrested Sunday by police in Spain after being sought for five years in the alleged murder-for-hire scheme, according to the FBI.
Moises Quinones, the FBI’s spokesman in Puerto Rico, said Aurea Vazquez Rijos was arrested by the Spanish police at an airport in Madrid. The Puerto Rican suspect was taken into custody as she was getting off a flight from Italy, where she has lived for years and gave birth to another man’s twins.
A U.S. grand jury charged Vazquez in 2008 with offering a man $3 million to kill her husband, real estate developer Adam Anhang. She denied the charges but refused to cooperate with investigators and fled Puerto Rico for Italy, where she lived in Florence and more recently Venice.
Abe Anhang, the victim’s father, on Sunday said authorities told him that Vazquez’s sister and her former husband have also been charged and arrested in Puerto Rico in connection with his son’s killing in 2005.
“We’re hopeful that after such a long time that justice will be done,” Abe Anhang said by telephone from his home in Winnipeg. “It’s been almost five years since she’s been a fugitive in Italy.”
