Police in Montenegro have arrested an Iranian-Turkish national wanted by the United States over alleged cyberattacks that authorities say caused more than $3.4 billion (€2.98 billion) in damage.

Police said the 39-year-old suspect, identified only as A.B., was detained on Thursday in the coastal town of Kotor in an operation carried out with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The man is wanted by a court in New York on charges including computer fraud, hacking, identity theft and organised crime, according to a police statement.
