An ex-Tyrolean (74) - now an American citizen - has been the subject of an international arrest warrant since 2011. He was wanted on suspicion of fraud and embezzlement amounting to millions. The trial came to a surprising end. 

The native Tyrolean (74) - who now has American citizenship - worked as an insurance broker in the insurance industry for a total of 40 years. For many of these years, he looked after a globally successful company based in the Außerfern region. He was also successful, built up a name for himself, even became honorary consul in America for a short time and moved the center of his life there, emigrating, so to speak.
