Understood to have been captured (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taken

I believe this is a triple definition!

'understood' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'to have' is a link.

'been' is the second definition.
(taking is a kind of being)

'captured' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for taken that I've seen before include "Charmed" , "Removed, accepted" , "Appropriated" , "Obtained" , "Seized" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
