Fraud suspect Joseph Badu Boateng, widely known as Dada Joe Remix, has been extradited to the United States to face charges related to a multi-million dollar romance and inheritance fraud scheme.
The extradition was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) at the U.S. Embassy in Ghana, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Ghanaian law enforcement agencies.
Boateng is alleged to be the mastermind behind a sophisticated syndicate that targeted vulnerable U.S. citizens through online romance scams and false inheritance claims. U.S. prosecutors say the scam defrauded numerous victims of millions of dollars over an extended period.
In a statement released by the U.S. Embassy, officials emphasized the importance of international cooperation in combating transnational organized crime.
“This case highlights the strong partnership between Ghanaian authorities and U.S. law enforcement in bringing fraudsters to justice,” the statement noted.
Boateng was apprehended in Ghana earlier this year after investigations linked him to the fraudulent network. Following legal procedures, he was handed over to U.S. officials and is now in custody in the United States, where he is expected to stand trial in the coming weeks.
The suspect is now in the United States where he will face justice.
