Michael Brown arrested in the Caribbean

From the Guardian website this evening:
The Liberal Democrats' biggest donor, who has been on the run for three years after being convicted of a multimillion pound theft, has been arrested by police in the Dominican Republic, the Guardian can disclose. 
Michael Brown, who bankrolled the party with £2.4m of stolen money, was detained near the resort of Punta Cana on the easternmost tip of the Caribbean island this week. Interpol has been informed.
The report suggests that this development could lead to renewed legal efforts by his victims to seek compensation from the Lib Dems and Brown through the British courts.
