John McAfee Arrested: Antivirus Software Magnate Reportedly Detained By Guatemala Police
GUATEMALA CITY, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Guatemalan police arrested U.S. software guru John McAfee on Wednesday for illegally entering the country and said it would expel him to neighboring Belize, which he fled after being sought for questioning over his neighbor's murder.
McAfee, who had been in hiding for three weeks, crossed into Guatemala with his girlfriend, Samantha, t o evade authorities in Belize who wanted to question him as "a person of interest" about the killing of fellow American Gregory Faull.
"He entered the country illegally and we are going to seek his expulsion for this crime," Interior Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla said.
Guatemala government spokesman Francisco Cuevas said McAfee would be expelled to Belize and he expected the process to be completed by early Thursday morning.
