3 Ghanaians Extradited to U.S. Over $100 Million Romance Scam

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Justice have announced the extradition of three Ghanaian nationals, Isaac Boateng, Inusah Ahmed, and Derrick Van Yeboah over their alleged roles in a massive international fraud network.

According to U.S. authorities, the accused were part of a sophisticated criminal organization involved in romance scams and business email compromise schemes that defrauded dozens of victims of more than $100 million.

The group allegedly targeted individuals and businesses, deceiving them into sending large sums of money through elaborate schemes.

The extradition marks a significant step in the ongoing fight against transnational cybercrime.

Law enforcement officials say the case underscores the importance of international cooperation in bringing cybercriminals to justice. If convicted, the accused face severe penalties under U.S. law.
