Simon Leviev, who is the subject of the documentary by the digital content platform Netflix and is known as the "Tinder Swindler" almost all over the world, has finally been caught.
'TINDER SWINDLER' CAUGHT
The 34-year-old Leviev, whose real name is Shimon Hayut, was captured and detained by Interpol while trying to flee the country at Batumi Airport in Georgia.
LIVED A LUXURIOUS LIFE AT THE EXPENSE OF WOMEN HE MET ON DATING APPS
Leviev's name became known worldwide with the 2022 documentary "Tinder Swindler." In the documentary, he introduced himself as the heir to a large diamond empire to wealthy women he met through dating apps, gained their trust, and then lived a luxurious life at their expense.
10 MILLION DOLLAR SCAM
Not stopping there, Leviev defrauded his victims of millions of dollars. According to the statements of the victimized women, the "Tinder Swindler" made a scam of approximately 10 million dollars using this method.
HAD BEEN CONVICTED OF FRAUD
Authorities are also investigating whether Leviev has connections to an international fraud network. Leviev was convicted of fraud in Israel in 2019 and was released after serving only 5 months of his 15-month sentence. After his release, he disappeared again, trying to cover his tracks with fake identities and tactics.
EXPECTED TO FACE NEW CHARGES
After the Netflix production drew the world's attention, Leviev's Tinder account was closed, but he continued his activities under different identities. Now, with his capture in Georgia, he is expected to face new charges.
