South African police have handed over six Nigerian citizens to FBI agents. They are wanted in the United States for alleged online romance scams.
The group is accused of targeting more than 100 women in the US. Authorities stated the total amount defrauded is over 100 million rand, which is about $6 million.
The extradition took place on Friday. The suspects will now face legal proceedings in the United States.
This operation highlights the international nature of cybercrime and fraud. Law enforcement agencies are working together to combat these offenses.
