A 27-year-old Jordanian man was arrested in Budapest for allegedly stealing Johnny Depp's credit card information and making unauthorized purchases worth £500,000. The theft went unnoticed by Depp for over two years until his bank flagged suspicious transactions. Investigators identified 308 transactions totaling more than £536,534 (€619,508) carried out between January 2024 and December 2025. The investigation began when an American financial institution alerted the Hungarian FBI about illegal withdrawals from a client's account, later identified as Depp's. Police traced the fraudulent activities through IP addresses, email accounts, and a Hungarian phone number linked to the suspect. During the raid, authorities seized electronic devices and discovered suspected narcotics, leading to additional charges. The suspect denies the allegations, and a court has ordered his pre-trial detention. The investigation into how Depp's credit card details were compromised continues, with further arrests possible.
