Immigration authorities on Thursday deported a Russian national who has been convicted for his role in a $4.5 million wire fraud scheme and is wanted in his home country for attempted murder.
Escorted by officers with ICE’s Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO), Stanislav Eduardovich Lisitskiy, 32, was handed over to Russian authorities in Moscow.
Lisitskiy, who is wanted in Russia on multiple charges, including attempted murder, overstayed his nonimmigrant temporary visitor visa in 2017, according to a press release from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
