LONDON — One of Britain’s most wanted fugitives, accused of drug offences, was captured in Spain, authorities said. Police detained 41-year-old Jamie Acourt as he left a gym in Barcelona on Friday afternoon, Britain’s National Crime Agency said. The joint operation was carried out by the crime agency, London’s Metropolitan Police and Spain’s national police force. Acourt, along with his brother Neil, is a former suspect in the 1993 killing of black teenager Stephen Lawrence. Jamie Acourt has consistently denied any role in the racially motivated murder of Lawrence, and he was never charged in the case.
