On Thursday, the US authorities arrested Gyetvay on tax evasion charges related to a sum of $93 million stored offshore.
The Justice Department said from 2005 to 2016, Gyetvay allegedly engaged in a scheme to defraud the United States by concealing his ownership and control over substantial offshore assets and by failing to file and pay taxes on millions of dollars of income. Gyetvay pleaded not guilty to the charges.
