U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained Rafael Zaga Tawil, a Mexican businessman in Florida who is accused by authorities in Mexico of orchestrating a $294 million housing fraud scheme tied to the country's public mortgage lender.
Zaga Tawil, who had been sought by Mexican prosecutors since 2020, is being held at the Glades County Detention Center as legal proceedings continue in both countries.
