Famous Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has fallen victim to a financial scam, after a Jordanian citizen allegedly stole over 600,000 euros from his bank card without his knowledge.
According to Hungarian media, the suspect was arrested in Budapest following a police operation conducted on May 6, when investigators discovered suspicious transactions related to a client of a well-known American bank.
The investigation began after the US bank alerted the Hungarian branch of the FBI about illegal withdrawals from a bank account. Detectives later identified the customer as Johnny Depp, who was allegedly unaware that his bank card details had been used for nearly two years.
According to reports, hundreds of transactions were carried out with the actor's card between January 2024 and December 2025.
Authorities say the suspect used the stolen card details for online purchases and accommodation reservations on various online platforms.
Investigators are analyzing 308 separate transactions with a total value of approximately 620 thousand euros.
Given that Johnny Depp's wealth is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars, the suspect managed to avoid attracting attention for a long time by making smaller, scattered payments.
Police were able to trace the activity through IP addresses, email accounts, and a Hungarian phone number that was linked to reservations made with the stolen card.
During a search of the rented apartment where the suspect lived, police seized electronic equipment believed to have been used in the fraud scheme. Substances suspected to be drugs were also found in the apartment, which opened an additional investigation for possession of narcotics.
Hungarian authorities stated that the arrested man had a residence permit in Hungary and was living in Budapest at the time of his arrest.
The suspect has denied the charges, but the court has ordered his detention.
Investigators continue to work to uncover how the Hollywood actor's bank details were obtained.
