British authorities informed Hungarian authorities in September 2024 that the man was allegedly hiding in Hungary, using several fake names and frequently changing his place of residence, the Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK) said on police.hu.

The man was successfully tracked down and he was detained in Budapest on January 7.

Police seized from the man several international fake IDs showing his photograph with other persons’ details.

Legal proceedings have been launched against the man also on charges of forging official documents.
