STOCKHOLM: A Swedish victim of Israeli fraudster Simon Leviev, made famous by Netflix show "The Tinder Swindler", told AFP Tuesday she had "celebrated" his arrest in Georgia.
Leviev, 34, whose real name is Shimon Yehuda Hayut, rose to notoriety after investigative reports and media coverage exposed a pattern of romance fraud and financial crimes.
He was arrested at Batumi airport "at Interpol's request", Georgian officials said Monday.
"I celebrated a bit yesterday. I'm allowed to feel happy because this guy destroyed my life," Pernilla Sjoholm told AFP in an interview in Stockholm.
