HOUSTON — An Indian national was extradited to the United States from Singapore to face charges related to his role as an operator of a “call center†network that targeted U.S. victims. The massive India-based telephone impersonation fraud and money laundering conspiracy defrauded thousands of U.S. residents out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG), and U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of International Affairs and HSI Singapore provided significant support in securing and coordinating this arrest and extradition, while working in concert with their counterparts at the Singapore Attorney General’s-Chambers, and the Singapore Police Force.
