Vitalii Balint/Ukraine/Fraud By Wire

Vitalii Balint, a Ukrainian national, appears on a circulated roster of foreign nationals described as criminal illegal aliens, identified as having been arrested in Milan, Michigan, on a federal wire fraud charge. The social media posts list Balint by name, country of origin, and offense—“Fraud By Wire”—and note Milan as the arrest location, while also stating that he was convicted of a cocaine offense and harassing communications in a separate context. The materials do not provide additional detail on the underlying fraud scheme, loss amount, or court disposition beyond the label of wire fraud.

These posts present Balint’s case alongside other noncitizens accused or convicted of serious crimes as part of an argument for tougher immigration enforcement. They emphasize his Ukrainian citizenship and alleged fraud and drug history to support claims that criminal aliens from multiple countries have been arrested in smaller Michigan communities such as Milan.
