Via: BBC:
An Irish property developer who says he was kidnapped for eight months has been arrested on suspicion of wasting police time.
Kevin McGeever, 68, was found wandering on a country road near Ballinamore, County Leitrim in January eight months after he disappeared.
He was emaciated and barefoot and was taken to hospital.
A police spokesman confirmed a 68-year-old man had been arrested by detectives investigating the alleged abduction.
The man was arrested at his home in Craughwell, County Galway, on Thursday and held under Section Four of the Criminal Justice Act 1994, which contains provisions for wasting Garda (police) time and making false allegations.

This is a pretty weird one.

THE enigma of the Irish property developer who claimed he was held captive for eight months and tortured deepened this weekend as more details emerged about his bizarre ordeal.
Kevin Michael McGeever was found wandering by the side of a Leitrim road last Tuesday, confused, emaciated, barefoot, with long fingernails and a lengthy beard. It soon transpired he was a wealthy property developer who sold apartments in Dubai and who was reported missing more than eight months ago.
This story is a spooky echo of “Old Boy”, a VERY good film from Korean director Park Chan-wook. This film carries my highest recommendation. Holding someone in secret, for no apparent reason, has the reek of revenge to it. His time ‘out of the loop’ may have let someone else make and seal a deal in peace.
