Tudor, from Craiova, Romania, traveled to Mexico to establish Intacash a Top Life Servicios, an ATM services company that operated a network of comparatively new ATMs in Mexico.
On Thursday, Florian Tudor, “The Shark” was arrested while he was taken into custody by Mexican Attorney General officers. As shown in a video published by media organizations, the situation broke out in wrestling, screaming, and officials bringing Tudor out of the house by his arms and legs.
The federal law enforcement agency in Mexico alleged that members of Tudor tried to attack a policeman before they were arrested.
Robert Bica, a Bucharest lawyer of Tudor, verified the Romanian newspaper Libertatea of his detention. Now, in the following two or three weeks, a Mexican judge will decide on his deportation.
