MEXICO CITY, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Mexican agents assigned to the Interpol arrested a fugitive from Peru who was wanted for his involvement in a 2002 fatal nightclub fire that killed 29 people, the country's Attorney General's Office (PGR) said Tuesday.

Edgar Jesus Paz was arrested by the police in Tlalnepantla, a municipality in the state of Mexico, without using violence or affecting third parties.

The PGR said in a statement that the arrest was based on an extradition request submitted by Peru.

Paz was one of the owners of the nightclub Utopia. Authorities have been looking for him since he was sentenced in 2004 to four years in prison for manslaughter for the accident in July 2002, in which 29 young people died asphyxiated or burned, according to Peruvian press.

A federal judge of Mexico ordered his detention for extradition at the request of Peruvian authorities.
