Richard Heart, founder of popular Ethereum based token Hex, has been issued a red notice by Interpol, in connection with aggravated tax fraud and assaulting a 16-year-old girl.
The red notice against 45-year-old Richard Schueler a.k.a Richard ‘Heart’ has been issued by Interpol at the request of authorities in Finland. The notice doesn’t constitute an international arrest warrant against Heart even as the Finnish law enforcement officers are looking for him for two separate criminal cases.
Earlier, this year, Heart featured in EU Most Wanted List for the same charges. Authorities suspect Heart of committing tax fraud with the time span of 2020-2024 and a remand order against him was first issued on September 13, 2024.
In a separate case, Heart is wanted by authorities for assaulting a minor girl in Finland.
