Johnny Depp hit by card fraud

Actor Johnny Depp allegedly lost nearly Rs 7 crore in fraudulent transactions before authorities arrested a suspect

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has reportedly become the victim of a major credit card fraud case involving unauthorised transactions worth more than $690,000 (approximately Rs 7 crore).

According to reports, the alleged fraud continued for nearly two years before investigators uncovered the suspicious activity. The case has drawn widespread attention online after videos surfaced showing Hungarian police arresting a suspect linked to the alleged operation. Investigators reportedly identified around 308 suspicious transactions connected to Depp’s American Express card between January 2024 and December 2025.

Authorities believe the money was spent on hotel stays, online shopping, and several smaller purchases that allegedly went unnoticed for an extended period. The investigation reportedly began earlier this year after a US bank flagged unusual withdrawals linked to Depp’s account and alerted the FBI’s Budapest office. On May 6, Hungarian police reportedly arrested a 27-year-old man outside the property.
