Paedophile Nick Griffin has been arrested at Heathrow after being deported from Cambodia where he had been jailed for abusing children at an orphanage he ran.
The 53-year-old is being questioned over allegations of child abuse from his time as a scout leader in Wales in 2003.
He emigrated from the UK to Siem Reap, near the famous Angkor Wat temples, in 2006 and set up two orphanages.
He was tracked by Britain's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre after local workers became concerned about his behaviour.
A long investigation ended in his arrest by Cambodian police a year ago after he moved 100 children to a remote, new orphanage he built outside Siem Reap.
We filmed his arrest in Cambodia and travelled to his new fortress-like orphanage which would have been virtually unreachable during the country's monsoon season.
The children he'd had in his care were found new homes in the region.
Griffin was freed yesterday after completing half of his two-year sentence and immediately deported to the UK.
Metropolitan Police boarded his plane at Heathrow and arrested him as members of his family waited in the terminal to welcome him home.
It was expected that police would try to get a court order to ban him travelling before handing him over to North Wales police for questioning about the historic abuse allegations.

What a pathetic loser. Anyone exploited kids should be jailed for a long time.This guy only got 2 years. What a travesty of justice.
this is the prime example why NGO law needed to be passed in Cambodia to control these sick individual pray on children. who care for cambodian children if the not cambodian? i urge the government to pass the NGO law now; dont fold into pressure from outsider.
