A man wanted Canada-wide in connection with a multimillion-dollar fraud and data theft of Desjardins clients was arrested in Spain, according to Quebec provincial police.

The Sûreté du Québec says Juan Pablo Serrano, considered among the province’s most wanted fugitives, was arrested Nov. 6, 2025. He remains in custody in Spain.

Authorities say Serrano, a Canadian citizen of Ecuadorean decent, will be extradited to Canada where he will face charges of fraud, identity theft and trafficking in identity information.
