The Spanish police arrested the American tycoon John McAfee, creator of the famous antivirus software of the same name, at the Barcelona airport, wanted in the United States on suspicion of fraud.
The millionaire was intercepted on Saturday night when he was about to take a flight to Istanbul (Turkey) accompanied by two people, according to Spanish police sources, who followed up on a search and arrest warrant issued by the United States court (UNITED STATES ).
Among other crimes, John McAfee is suspected of not paying millions of dollars in taxes on the profits he allegedly made from activities such as trading virtual money (cryptocurrencies).
This is not the first time he has been detained after being detained last year in a port in the Dominican Republic with various weapons aboard his yacht.
The millionaire had revealed days before his arrest that he was leaving the United States because the CIA was trying to arrest him for alleged tax crimes.
Dominican authorities eventually released John McAfee, who traveled to the UK.
McAfee is an American computer security software company based in Santa Clara, California, which was founded in 1986 by John McAfee.
