US Court Sentences Nigerian National to Six Years Over $6 Million Bribery
A Nigerian man has been sentenced to six years in the U.S. for his involvement in a $6 million Business Email Compromise (BEC) scheme.
The fraud, led by an international criminal group, used phishing techniques to infiltrate email systems, convincing victims to wire large sums of money to accounts controlled by the criminals.
This case highlights the growing threat of BEC scams, which have caused billions of dollars in losses globally.
The convicted individual is among several co-conspirators who have faced legal action for orchestrating this sophisticated fraud operation​.
