The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States has released a list of persons it described as the “Most Wanted Fraudsters”.

According to the FBI, the “Most Wanted Fraudsters” programme was inspired by the success of other similar programmes that targeted particular crimes.

It explained that the list would enhance the fight against healthcare fraud, programme fraud, and other fraud schemes across the length and breadth of the United States.

Even though the bureau has indicted a lot of people from Ghana over the past few months, no Ghanaian made it onto the list of the most wanted fraudsters.

Two women and six men made it onto the list, having been accused of various crimes ranging from wire fraud to money laundering.

They were accused of stealing billions of dollars from their victims, with the lowest amount allegedly stolen being $1.3 million and the highest being $1.2 billion.
