Solicitor Michael Lynn has been arrested in Brazil after fleeing Ireland over five years ago leaving debts of over €80 million.
The 43-year-old is being detained following a bilateral arrangement between Ireland and Brazil.
The High Court in Dublin issued a warrant for his arrest and the case was sent to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation.
The Director Public Prosecutions has directed that Mr Lynn face criminal charges.
There is no extradition agreement between the two countries but the State is seeking his return to face trial in Ireland for alleged fraud offences.
Mr Lynn has not been seen in Ireland since a warrant was issued for his arrest five years ago after he failed to turn up in the High Court.
He moved between a number of European countries and the United States before settling in Brazil.
Mr Lynn owes over €80m to at least ten financial institutions, and has multiple mortgages on many of the 148 properties he is involved with.
The High Court has been told that undertakings he gave to banks to provide security for the loans have not been honoured in many cases.
Two years ago Mr Lynn was granted permanent residency in Brazil following the birth of his son there.
It is understood that a bilateral arrangement has been entered into between Ireland and Brazil in this case following contacts between officials from the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Justice and the Brazilian authorities.
Mr Lynn was arrested in Pernambuco in the north east of the country.
