Justiz: Geflohener Windkraftbetrüger Hendrik Holt in Dubai gefasst
Die Staatsanwaltschaft Osnabrück vermeldet einen Fahndungserfolg. Der seit vier Wochen flüchtige Betrüger sei in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten erwischt worden.
Düsseldorf - The fugitive wind park fraudster Hendrik Holt, who was believed to be hiding in Moscow, has been apprehended in Dubai according to the Osnabrück State Prosecutor's Office. Holt, who went missing at the end of August, was seized on Monday as a result of joint search efforts. The exact details of the case, including whether and when Holt will be extradited to Germany, remain undisclosed for now.
Holt's Instagram account had claimed he was in Moscow, where he posted a picture and wrote "Greetings from Moscow, very nice here, the caviar is fantastic." His lawyer confirmed later that he was hiding abroad. Holt, known for his public presence and a documentary about him, is considered one of the country's most notorious fraudsters.
Until 2020, the 36-year-old had invented wind park projects and defrauded energy companies from Italy, Scotland, and the Czech Republic by 11 million euros.
