Justice: Fugitive wind power fraudster Hendrik Holt caught in Dubai
The Osnabrück public prosecutor's office reports a success in their search. The swindler who had been on the run for four weeks was caught in the United Arab Emirates.
Hendrik Holt, a fugitive wind farm scammer, has been taken into custody by authorities. He was arrested in Dubai on Tuesday as a result of joint search efforts by the Central Investigation Directorate Osnabrück. Holt had been on the run since August 25, when he failed to return from a day release from Berlin's Düppel prison. He had previously claimed on Instagram to be hiding in Moscow, but it is unclear when he will be extradited to Germany.
Holt is accused of defrauding energy companies in Italy, Scotland, and the Czech Republic out of €11 million.
