The Department of Justice indicted a man from Sierra Leone and accused him of leading a large human smuggling organization that brought thousands of undocumented migrants into the United States.
The document details that Abdul Karim Conteh was arrested last week in Tijuana at the request of the U.S. government, which is currently seeking his extradition to file several charges against him. He has also been subjected to financial sanctions by the Department of Treasury. His wife, Mexican Verónica Roblero Pivaral, remains at large and is also being sought after by authorities.
