The federal authorities of the United State has announced the seizure of an aircraft belonging to a Nigerian facing multi-million dollar fraud charges in the country.
The seizure was made on Tuesday at the Peachtree DeKalb Airport in Georgia, according to WSB-TV
Investigative reporter, Aaron Diamant, who witnessed the seizure, watched as Federal agents collected evidence from the plane. A K-9 team also swept the plane for drugs and other contraband.
Agents won’t say specifically how they connected the plane to the Nigerian now facing fraud charges and they did not mention the name of the alleged Nigerian owner.
“For the most part, people don’t even understand. They don’t know what’s happening in Atlanta, Georgia,” one of the special agents said.
“This is all day, every day. I mean, this is the fruits of our labor, and this is the successes of a great team effort by our state, local and federal partners coming together to hit the bad guys where it hurts, in their pocket.
“When we see a certain type of aircraft get sold, it raises our suspicions.”
