An Australian man has been arrested in Bali for alleged fraud and embezzlement over the purchase of a land and villa development. 
Police say Eric Bevan Gillet was reported in 2014 by Balinese man I Ketut Sumadi for allegedly defrauding him 6 760 000 000 Rupiah (about $692 000) in a land and villa sale.
"The victim reported that Eric failed to provide all the documents for the land and villa purchase," said Bali police spokesperson Sri Harmiti.
He said Mr Gillet had been on the run since   December 18 last year but was arrested at his home in Seminyak on   February 1.
"We will hand the case to the prosecutor on   February 17," Mr Sri said.
A spokeswoman said the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was providing consular assistance to an Australian man in Bali in line with the Consular services charter.
"Due to our privacy obligations, we will not provide further information," she said.
