Tje Rwandan genocide suspect Félicien Kabuga has been arrested in the Paris region, according to the French justice ministry.

Kabuga, 84, who was living under a false identity in a flat in Asnières-Sur-Seine, near the centre of Paris, had been pursued by authorities for 25 years before his detention on Saturday, according to the ministry.

Kabuga is Rwanda’s most-wanted man. The US has placed a $5m (£4.1m) bounty on his head.

The Hutu businessman is accused of funding the militias that massacred 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994.

The arrest paves the way for bringing the fugitive bfore the court of appeal in Paris and the international court in The Hague.
