PETALING JAYA: The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has secured the extradition of a Bangladeshi national from Malaysia after arresting the suspect with the help of Malaysian authorities.
FBI director Kash Patel said Zobaidul Amin, 28, was accused of operating an international child sexual exploitation enterprise and had been wanted since 2022.
He added that Zobaidul arrived in Alaska, US, yesterday and would be charged later today.
Patel thanked the Malaysian government and authorities for their assistance in arresting the suspect.
“Thank you to our Kuala Lumpur office, the government of Malaysia, and our great local partners all over the country who assisted with the investigation and arrest,” he said in a post on X.
In his post, Patel included pictures of what appeared to be three FBI officers escorting the suspect to a private jet on a runway in Malaysia.
