Nigeria has deported 192 foreign nationals among the 759 suspects arrested during a December crackdown on a major cybercrime ring. The deportees were convicted of cyberterrorism, internet fraud, and related offenses. Those expelled included citizens of China, the Philippines, Tunisia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Timor-Leste. The EFCC said the network laundered illicit proceeds through Genting International Co. Limited, a Nigerian-registered firm allegedly set up by foreign nationals.
