Notorious Somali pirate Mohamed Abdi Hassan also known as "Afweyne" or "Big Mouth",has been arrested in Brussels. Hassan was lured to Brussels with promises to make a documentary about his money-making life on the high seas.
According to ALJAZEERA, Afweyne was asked via Tiiceey whether he would be prepared to be an adviser on a film about piracy, portraying his life carrying out hijackings off the East African coast and making millions of dollars from ransom payments.
Prosecutors said it took months to reel Afweyne in and persuade him to come to Brussels, but would not provide further details about how the sting was carried out.
Afweyne said in January he had put his pirate days behind him and retired. United Nations experts have accused a former Somalian president of shielding him by issuing him a diplomatic passport.
