Turkish Media Report Richard Heart Detained in Istanbul
Richard Heart was reportedly detained in Istanbul on an Interpol notice tied to a Finnish aggravated tax fraud case, according to Turkish media cited by The Defiant.
Turkish media reported that Richard Heart was detained in Istanbul in connection with an Interpol notice, according to The Defiant.
Interpol’s publicly available record names Finland as the jurisdiction seeking him and identifies aggravated tax fraud as the listed allegation. The notice does not establish guilt.
The reported detention is separate from Heart’s case involving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which was dismissed in 2025.
