Jos Leijdekkers is one of Europe 's most-wanted fugitives and believed to be hiding out in Sierra Leone .

He was sentenced in absentia by a Rotterdam court in June last year to 24 years in prison for organizing the transport of seven tons of cocaine and ordering a murder.

Suspicion arose after the country's First Lady posted pictures and a video on social media that showed a man resembling him at a religious service attended by President Julius Maada Bio .
