Uche Victor Diuno/Nigeria/Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Laundering Monetary Instruments

Uche Victor Diuno, a citizen of Nigeria, was arrested by ICE New Orleans and transferred to federal custody for immigration processing. Officials recorded the apprehension in the field office’s area of responsibility and noted that he will remain detained while appearances are scheduled on the immigration docket. Case materials reviewed at intake identify prior federal convictions that form the principal entries associated with his record.

Records list a conviction for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and a separate conviction for laundering monetary instruments. The wire fraud conviction reflects participation in a scheme to obtain money by means of false or fraudulent pretenses using interstate wire communications. The laundering conviction documents financial transactions designed to conceal or move criminal proceeds. Both judgments predate this enforcement action and are recorded as final in United States court records. The arrest notice did not report additional convictions or new charges at the time of custody transfer. Standard next steps include a custody review and docketing of hearing dates; any matters connected to the earlier criminal cases proceed in the jurisdictions where they were adjudicated, separate from immigration processing.
