Sex-crimes accused and former Pretoria advocate Dirk Prinsloo was arrested in the Republic of Belarus, three years after skipping the country, national police said on Saturday. "Were informed by Interpol that Prinsloo was arrested at 5.30pm on Friday following an attempted bank robbery in Belarus," said spokesperson Director Sally de Beer. Prinsloo and two other men allegedly attempted to rob a bank on Wednesday, armed with a pistol and a knife. "The staff at the bank co-operated but managed to overpower two of the suspects and he ran. He was tracked down and arrested two days later," said De Beer. Prinsloo skipped bail and fled the country in May 2006. At the time Prinsloo was on trial with his co-accused Cezanne Visser, on a host of charges -- including the sexual abuse of children. De Beer said they would make a formal application for extradition. "Obviously he will be tried in Belarus for the attempted robbery ... but he can be extradited back to South Africa," she said. - Sapa  CONTINUES BELOW TOPICS IN THIS ARTICLE
