NICOSIA, Cyprus — A Cyprus police spokesman says authorities have arrested a Canadian citizen wanted by U.S. authorities on suspicion of espionage and money laundering.
Michalis Katsounotos says 54-year-old Christopher Robert Metsos was arrested early Tuesday at Larnaca airport trying to fly to Budapest, Hungary.
Katsounotos said Metsos was arrested based on an Interpol arrest warrant.
The suspect appeared in a Larnaca court which ordered Metsos released on euro20,000 ($24,700) bail after surrendering his travel documents. The court also ordered Metsos to report to a Larnaca police station once a day.
Katsounotos says Metsos will remain on the island for one month until extradition proceedings begin.
