In 1995, a man in France was found guilty of killing a teenage girl, but instead of facing his punishment, he escaped to Germany to hide. For years, he managed to avoid going to prison because Germany would not send him back to France.
In 2009, the girl's father got so frustrated with the lack of justice that he paid people to bring the man back to France against his will. They left him tied up in front of a French courthouse so he could finally be tried properly.
When the man finally went to court in France, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his crime. The case shows how determined some families are to get justice, even if it means taking extreme actions themselves.
