Overview
- Ikechukwu Ndubuisi, 49, was arrested at Ezeiza while clearing migration after arriving on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Brazil under Operación Destino Final within Interpol’s Jackal 2.0 campaign.
- He was subject to both a Red Notice and a Plateada notice, and authorities say this is the first global capture tied to the new asset‑tracing alert.
- Prosecutors accuse him of fraud and criminal association linked to a transnational network that ran romance and social‑media scams and laundered proceeds through recruited money mules.
- Investigators estimate the ring extracted about US$8 million from victims through layered transfers and international remittances.
- Ndubuisi is in custody before Judge Manuel De Campos and reportedly declined to testify as authorities trace assets and examine alleged ties to Boko Haram financing and drug‑trafficking, with suspected ringleader “Bobby” still at large.
