At Batumi Airport, Israeli citizen Simon Leviev (real name — Shimon Hayut), known as the protagonist of the Netflix documentary "The Tinder Swindler," was detained. This was reported by The Jerusalem Post.
The reasons for his arrest remain undisclosed so far. Leviev's lawyer stated: "This morning I spoke with him after the detention, but it is still unclear what exactly he is being accused of. Previously, he moved freely between different countries."
According to the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the detention was carried out based on an Interpol warrant, as Leviev is internationally wanted.
