That doesn't work.
1) They could take your passport and you could easily get out of any country via an unauthorized border crossing.
2) You could vanish into the country you're in.
3) It is impossible for them to immediately know if you have a 2nd or even a 3rd passport / citizenship. If I had Fabian's money, I would have a few different passports from a few different countries. And considering he was arrested for suspicion of tax evasion, he is exactly the type of person who would have such a thing, and for exactly that reason.
Sure, they could probably hunt you down and track your ATM, bank, mobile movements, but if you were in deep shit and needed to go off the grid, you could make it very difficult for them to catch you.
