An American citizen who fled to Romania after being convicted by a US court of money laundering was sent home Wednesday, the police said. 

David Raimer, 46, was expelled from the country and put on a plane bound for New York, said a police source. 

Rainer, who got into Romania using a fake passport, has also been ordered by a US court to pay back 1.5 million dollars.
