Gal Pissetzky, lawyer to Nigerian presumed universal fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, prevalently known as Ray Hushpuppi, has said that his client was kidnapped by the FBI from Dubai and taken to the US.
Hushpuppi and another digital heist suspect, Olalekan Jacob Ponle, otherwise called Mr Woodberry were arrested in Dubai, where they lived, in June.
They were later taken to the US where they showed up in a Chicago court on 3 July.
The US and UAE have no existing extradition treaty but Dubai police said the two presumed fraudsters were extradited to the US.
The BBC cited a spokesman for the US Department of Justice as saying that Hushpuppi was expelled from Dubai and was not extradited.
Talking with the BBC, Hushpuppi's lawyer Pissetzky, stated, “In my opinion, the FBI and the government here acted illegally when they kidnapped him from Dubai without any legal process to do so.
“There was no extradition, there were no legal steps taken, there were no court documents filed, it was simply a call to the FBI. He is not a citizen of the United States, the US had absolutely no authority to take him.”
Gal Pissetzky had before revealed to Forbes that Hushpuppi, isn't a fraudster.
Pissetzky said that the internet celebrity is a genuine businessperson who bargains on real estate, as per Forbes.
