Fredrik Neij – known online as "TiAMO", third and the last founder of the popular file sharing website The Pirate Bay has been arrested driving across the border of Laos and Thailand.

The 36-year-old fugitive Fredrik Neij was convicted by a Swedish court in 2009 of aiding copyright infringement and now he has been arrested under an Interpol warrant after four years on the run.

The Pirate Bay allows users to share files, including copyrighted content such as movies and music, through peer-to-peer technology.

He fled the country after being released on bail and had been living in Laos with his wife and children since 2012. Neij was arrested on Monday while trying to cross a border checkpoint in Nong Khai province, about 385 miles northeast of Bangkok, with his wife, Police said.

"Mr. Neij will be transferred to the immigration headquarters in Bangkok on Wednesday where the Swedish embassy is expected to pick him up and bring him back to Sweden" WP reported.

According to Neij's travel records, he and his family have traveled to Thailand about 30 times since his passport was revoked by the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok in 2012.

His photo had been given to immigration police in Nong Khai. It might have been a coincidence, but unluckily Neij was wearing the same grey T-shirt while crossing the border that was in the photo.

"The immigration police officer who spotted him in the car recognized him, so he pulled his car over,” Regional immigration police commissioner Major General Chartchai Eimsaeng said.

Last week, Pirate Bay's first Founder Gottfird Svartholm, who used the alias "Anakata" on the Internet, was also found guilty of hacking by a Danish court and is now serving a three-and-a-half year sentence, while the second founder - Peter Sunde is serving the final days of an eight month sentence in Sweden.
