The United States has announced plans to deport a Nigerian national, Ayobami Omoniyi, after he completes a 32-month prison sentence for his role in a $202,000 money laundering scheme.
The U.S. Department of Justice disclosed this in a statement published on its website on Thursday.
According to the statement, Omoniyi and his co-conspirators in 2021 received and transferred funds obtained from victims of financial fraud, including a fishing company in Australia.
Investigations said that the syndicate operated an unlicensed money-transmitting business linked to business email compromise scams.
