Court orders extradition of Abu Trica's alleged accomplice to US over $8m romance scam
Daniel Yusif, an alleged co-conspirator of suspected internet fraudster Abu Trica, has been ordered extradited to the United States by the Gbese District Court to stand trial in connection with an alleged $8 million wire fraud and romance scam. The court's committal order allows for Yusif's transfer to the US, where he is expected to face charges linked to the transnational fraud case.
The court granted Yusif 15 days to challenge the extradition order before the process is finalized. US prosecutors accuse the suspects of orchestrating an international romance and business email compromise scheme that allegedly defrauded victims of more than $8 million. This development follows the extradition of Abu Trica himself to the United States weeks prior to face prosecution over his alleged involvement in the same fraud syndicate. The extradition proceedings resulted from ongoing cooperation between Ghanaian and US authorities in tackling cross-border cybercrime and financial fraud. Should Yusif fail to challenge the committal order within the stipulated period, he will be extradited to the United States to face prosecution.
