A claim has gone viral on social media that George Soros, the billionaire investor and financier, has been placed on house arrest amid the Department of Justice’s probe into his organization, the Open Society Foundations. The posts go on to claim that Soros’s son, Alexander Soros, has fled the United States over the purported house arrest.
However, the claims are false. George has not been placed on house arrest, and his son, Alexander Soros, has not fled the United States.
This story is being updated.
