Frederick Kumi, popularly known as "Abu Trica," has been extradited to the United States to face charges in relation to an alleged $8 million romance scam case.
This comes after the High Court ordered the extradition of Kumi to the United States to face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
His lawyers were scheduled to move an application at the High Court today to stay the execution of the extradition, but lawyers from the Attorney-General's Department were absent.
Kumi is wanted in the US over his alleged role in the scheme, which targeted elderly Americans.
Prosecutors allege he participated in a scheme that used AI tools to create fake identities and build relationships with victims in order to solicit money under false pretences.
He faces charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
