Tinder Swindler Shimon Hayut is being held in solitary confinement in Georgia, the Mail can reveal, after he was arrested in the former Soviet state on Sunday.

Shimon Yehuda Hayut, 35, from Israel, was detained as he touched down at Batumi International airport on the Black Sea coast yesterday, officials said.

The Georgian Interior Ministry said Hayut had been detained on a Red Notice from Interpol as he crossed the border into Georgia.

It was not immediately clear which state had called for his arrest.

His attorney had earlier told Israeli media that the grounds for his arrest were unknown, even to them.
