Simon Leviev, the man infamously dubbed the 'Tinder Swindler', has been arrested in Georgia on mystery charges following an Interpol Red Notice. The 35-year-old Israeli national, born Shimon Yehuda Hayut, gained global notoriety for conning women out of vast sums of money while posing as the heir to a diamond empire.
His arrest on 15 September 2025 has triggered renewed attention across at least six countries where he remains wanted for alleged financial crimes.
