Quebec developer Jean-François Malo arrested in Martinique over separate local offense after fleeing Canada post-conviction.
Quebec real estate developer Jean-François Malo, 47, was arrested in Martinique on Tuesday, more than two months after fleeing Canada following a 2020 conviction for ordering an armed attack on lawyer Nicholas Daudelin, who was shot in the leg during a legal dispute involving Desjardins.
Malo was sentenced to five years in prison for aggravated assault, though an attempted murder charge was not proven.
He skipped court appearances after claiming fear for his safety, prompting Canadian warrants.
Authorities are verifying the arrest and assessing potential extradition, though Malo is not currently subject to an international warrant.
The arrest stemmed from a separate alleged offense on the island.
