Feds: Fugitive NY broker caught

NEW YORK — Federal authorities say they have captured a former Wall Street broker who became a fugitive after being charged in a securities fraud case.

Julian Tzolov (Zoh-LOHV’) had been the subject of an international manhunt since he disappeared shortly before a trial scheduled in Brooklyn in June.

Authorities declined to give details of Tzolov’s capture on Wednesday, and his lawyer had no immediate comment.

The 36-year-old Tzolov was a former broker for Credit Suisse’s private banking division. He and a colleague pleaded not guilty last year to securities fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy charges.
