A 30-year-old Nigerian national has admitted guilt in the United States to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
The suspect, who was arrested in South Africa where he was residing at the time of the crime, was extradited to the U.S. to face trial. He is the last of three defendants to plead guilty in connection with a business email compromise (BEC) fraud scheme.
Authorities confirmed that eight other individuals had earlier pleaded guilty in related cases prosecuted in Maryland.
The defendant now faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison, with the court scheduled to deliver judgment on November 24.
