A Russian man believed to have connections to hacking in the U.S. has been arrested in the Czech Republic, authorities there announced Tuesday.
Czech police worked with the FBI to detain the man at a hotel in Prague, according to a statement published online Tuesday evening.
Immediately after his arrest, authorities said, the man collapsed. He was provided first aid and later hospitalized.
Courts in the Czech Republic will decide whether to extradite the man to the U.S.
It was unclear what hacking attacks the man was suspected of participating in. A police spokesman declined to provide Reuters with additional information about the arrest.
In the statement Tuesday, police said Interpol had issued a Red Notice for the man seeking his arrest.
