Vasile, who lives in Bistrita Nasaud County, northern Romania, is wanted for several crimes committed in Spain.
 
However, he said he does not have a passport and that he never left Romania.
 
The judges said will verify with both the border authorities and the passports office is Vasile left Romania. In addition, they requested additional information (pictures, fingertips) to the Spanish authorities to determine whether there was a case of mistaken identity or not.
 
The Romanian national is accused of complicity to deprivation of liberty and aggravated robbery on Spanish territory, a spokeswoman of the Court of Appeals in Cluj said Monday.
