A 16-year-old boy who duped Taiwan's former president Chen Shui-bian by posing as a fortune-teller has been arrested on forgery charges, police say.

The teenager, identified only by his family name Huang, was arrested at a motel in Taipei county late yesterday, the United Daily News said. The Criminal Investigation Bureau confirmed the arrest without giving details.

The case has caused a media sensation in Taiwan and brought comparisons with Leonardo DiCaprio's character in 2002's movie Catch Me If You Can, with newspapers saying Huang assumed nine different identities in a series of cons.

He was arrested on forgery charges after appearing on TV to boast about his scam targeting Chen.

Police recognised Huang from an earlier internet prostitution case in which he gave false documents showing he was a student aged 23 in order to receive a lighter sentence.

In the latest incident, ex-president Chen has accused Huang of trying to swindle money out of him after the teenager, pretending to be a tarot-card reader, arranged a ritual with three bogus Buddhist monks.

The ex-president has denied Huang's claim that he gave him a tarot card reading.

Newspapers have had a field day with the case, claiming that Chen, who is battling corruption allegations, was in tears after receiving an unfavourable reading.

In further echoes from Catch Me If You Can, based on the life of teenage swindler Frank Abagnale Jr, reports have also said Huang never went to high school and is estranged from his parents.

Since leaving office in May, Chen has been targeted by death threats and a blackmailer, and was kicked in the rear by an irate radical in July.

He is being investigated for major embezzlement during his eight years as president and has also been implicated in a money-laundering scandal.
