The world's now oldest person Saro Dursun - born 1899 june 01 - lives in Västerås Sweden.

Public record of age: https://www.ratsit.se/18990601-Saro_Dursun_Vasteras/qEQWdEbn...

Now I'm confused. Emma Morano who was the oldest person alive, was born in 29 November 1899 according to the article. Is the article wrong?

No, Saro Dursun is a fraudster. I don't remember all the details but she Imigrated to Sweden in the 60/70s with another persons papers stating she was 65+ when she was in fact 40-something. 65 is the retirement age in Sweden...
