Youssef Khater, a Danish fraudster, is said to have been convicted of attempted murder in Chile and fraud in Denmark. Youssef previously served in the Royal Danish Navy for ten years before being dishonorably discharged at the age of 28 for fraud. In 2015, he completed a marathon in Costa Rica.
Khater was arrested in 2009 for fraud, arson, embezzlement, and forgery but did not appear in court in January 2011. He was later convicted in Chile of attempting to murder a Texan woman.
Khater, a 33-year-old Lebanese man, pretended to be a Palestinian marathon runner and ran a 12-bed hostel in Chile.
