Scottish Police said he was detained under an international arrest warrant.
Authorities in the US have confirmed that Rossi was also known as Nicholas Alahverdian in the state of Rhode Islandwhere he was involved in local politics and was a critic of the state’s child welfare system.
Rossi told US media in December 2019 that he had late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma and had weeks to live. Several outlets reported that he had died in February 2020.
A memorial posted online declared him a “warrior that fought on the front lines for two decades” for children’s rights and said his ashes had been scattered at sea.
