A suspected gangland killer described as France's "public enemy number one" was formally indicted on a slew of organised crime charges including murder before an investigating magistrate in Paris after his extradition from Romania.

A notorious French fugitive who staged a deadly escape last year has appeared in a Romanian court. A nine-month international police hunt culminated in his arrest in Bucharest.

Romania had vowed to hand the high-profile convict over to the French authorities, despite him contesting his detention.
