A Romanian was arrested in Romania after illegally transferring 400,000 euros from a bank in Iceland, being internationally wanted for fraud.

A 33-year-old Romanian man was arrested by the Romanian Police after illegally transferring approximately 400,000 euros from a bank in Iceland. Icelandic authorities accuse him of exploiting a vulnerability in the banking system between April 23 and 27, 2026, causing significant damage. There is a European arrest warrant issued against him by the Icelandic judiciary. The Romanian Police managed to locate him on the territory of Romania and brought him before the court, where he was detained for 24 hours for the continuation of the extradition legal procedures. The Bucharest Court of Appeal later decided to arrest the man for 30 days, thus facilitating his handover to the Icelandic authorities.
