« L’Arnaqueur de Tinder » relâché en Géorgie : l’affaire officiellement close
The French Tinder Swindler/Georgia release-case-closed headline and English named Simon Leviev/Shimon Hayut report of release after custody pending German extradition support a qualified same release coverage family. The French nickname is anchored by Georgia/release rather than nickname alone. Lawyer attribution and pending extradition remain explicit; earlier unspecified abroad arrest, Netflix intentions, Lev-family settlement and Safe Love publicity lack a direct proceeding bridge and are not sequenced into a follow-up.
Tinder Swindler arrested in ex-Soviet state media
Named SimonLeviev/ShimonYehudaHayut, Georgia/Batumi/Interpol and NetflixTinderSwindler context support a qualified common arrest/custody/release matter, including syndicated unnamed headlines with the same distinctive10million/women/dating-app opening. Source estimates10m/15m/currencies, name spellingLviev, ages34/35 and attributed priorconviction remain separate. Not independent corroboration or newGeorgia guilt. SafeLove launch, Netflixsuit and billionaire-familysettlement are other initiatives/proceedings, not this samecase.
