( CNN ) -- Police in Peru say they nabbed one of the world 's top scam artists on Wednesday when they arrested a securities broker whose alleged crimes earned him a spot on the FBI 's most wanted list . Authorities say Eric Bartoli had been on the lam for more than a decade after bilking hundreds of investors out of millions of dollars . He faces a number of charges , the FBI says , including money laundering , securities fraud and conspiracy in connection with an alleged $ 65 million Ponzi scheme . His case was featured on the CNBC series `` American Greed : The Fugitives '' in an episode titled `` Main Street Double Cross , '' which detailed authorities efforts to find Bartoli . `` They track him to Kentucky , New York , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , Vermont . They 're just hopping around , '' a promo posted on the show 's website says . `` And then at some point , he did disappear . Nobody could find him . '' Bartoli , 59 , who also has several aliases and passports from Peru and Argentina , had been at large for more than 10 years . But police in Peru tracked him down on Wednesday in what the FBI told CNN Cleveland affiliate WOIO was a joint operation between U.S. and Peruvian authorities . They escorted a tight-lipped Bartoli , wearing a track suit and a bulletproof vest , before television cameras . Authorities arrested him when he was jogging in a park south of the country 's capital Wednesday morning , the state-run Andina news agency reported . `` A team of Cleveland and international FBI resources worked closely with the Peruvian authorities to locate and apprehend Eric Bartoli , '' Stephen D. Anthony , special agent in charge of the FBI 's Cleveland Field Office , said in a written statement . `` We hope that the long awaited prosecution of Bartoli will provide some satisfaction to the many individuals he defrauded . '' U.S. authorities have requested his extradition , Andina said . But a court in Lima had also issued an arrest warrant for him , accusing Bartoli of money laundering , Peruvian National Police Col. Oscar Llatas told CNN en EspaÃ±ol . Investigators in Peru uncovered a series of shell companies tied to Bartoli that moved massive quantities of money , Police Col. Segundo Mejia said . In Peru , Llatas told Andina , Bartoli allegedly duped victims by offering them large returns on investments in oil , telecommunications and craft companies . He started to operate in Peru in 2005 , Llatas said , and intelligence reports indicate he entered the South American nation in 2010 . `` Once he got money from his victims , '' Llatas said , `` he disappeared . '' Journalist Maria Elena Belaunde and CNN 's Kevin Conlon contributed to this report .
