Actor Johnny Depp lost over $690,000 in an alleged credit card scam that went undetected for nearly two years.
Video of the suspect's arrest by armed Hungarian police has been making the rounds online.
Investigators say 308 unauthorized charges worth £536,534 appeared on Depp's card between January 2024 and December 2025.
The case started earlier this year after a U.S. bank flagged irregular withdrawals to the FBI's Budapest office.
On May 6, authorities traced the payments from Depp's account to a rented apartment in the Angyalföld area of the city.
Police apprehended a 27-year-old man outside the flat.
According to Blikk, the suspect used Depp's high spending limit to make multiple small transactions, hoping they wouldn't raise red flags.
The trail led them to a flat on Gomb Street in Budapest's 13th district.
A search of the property turned up electronic devices and substances suspected to be narcotics.
Depp spent extended periods in Budapest while filming Modi and other productions at locations like Buda Castle and the Hungarian State Opera House.
Police haven't said if his time in the city is tied to the fraud, and the inquiry is ongoing.
