Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) special agents at the U.S. Embassy in Ghana, in collaboration with Ghanaian authorities, have assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the extradition of Joseph Badu Boateng, also known as Dada Joe Remix.
Boateng was indicted in the United States on multiple charges linked to a fraud ring accused of operating romance and inheritance scams that defrauded American victims of several million dollars.
According to officials, the coordinated effort between the U.S. and Ghanaian law enforcement agencies resulted in Boateng’s successful extradition. He is currently in the United States to face trial.
The case highlights ongoing efforts between the two countries to combat transnational crime, especially internet-based financial fraud schemes that target vulnerable individuals.
