Shimon Hayut, known as the 'Tinder Swindler', has been released from a Georgian prison after a plea deal resulted in a one-year suspended sentence and the cancellation of all arrest warrants against him. Hayut had been detained for two months following his arrest on an Interpol notice related to alleged fraud in Germany, where he was accused of scamming a Berlin woman out of £38,000. Despite facing the possibility of extradition and a lengthy prison term, German authorities withdrew their request, allowing Hayut to walk free. His lawyers cited significant legal weaknesses in the charges, and the court's decision means all proceedings have been dropped, leaving Hayut without convictions for the crimes detailed in the 2022 documentary that made him infamous. Victims have expressed disappointment at the outcome, as Hayut is now free to travel across Europe.
