WASHINGTON (TNND) — The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday announced the extradition of 10 fugitives from nine countries following an international law enforcement operation that targeted suspects accused of murder drug trafficking, child sexual abuse and cybercrime.

The Justice Department stated it secured the extradition of fugitives from Canada, Colombia, Germany, Honduras, Kosovo, Israel, Mexico, Spain and Thailand.

Among those being extradited are being brought to the United States for crimes allegedly committed in Ohio, Utah, Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Federal prosecutors on Friday released the names of the suspects:

• Roberto Avina-Casillas, 30, was returned from Mexico to Ohio, where he faces murder and child endangerment charges in the 2013 death of his former girlfriend’s 3-year-old son after evading arrest for over a decade.
• Justin David Lanoue, 44, was extradited from Canada to Utah to stand trial for alleged child rape and felony sexual abuse of a minor, with charges dating back to 2015.
• Dominik Rydz, 24, a Polish citizen, was extradited from Germany to Michigan for allegedly sexually assaulting and unlawfully imprisoning a woman during a 2023 incident.
• Olof Kyros Gustafsson, 31, a Swedish national also known as "El Silencio," was sent from Spain to California, where he faces a 115-count indictment for wire fraud and money laundering in a scheme that allegedly involved using the likeness of Pablo Escobar to sell nonexistent products.
• Ardit and Jetmir Kutleshi, 26 and 28, were extradited from Kosovo to Pennsylvania for allegedly running the Rydox cybercrime marketplace, which trafficked in stolen personal data and digital fraud tools.
• Rene Javier Santos Alfaro, 53, was extradited from Honduras to Florida to face charges as an alleged drug trafficking ringleader accused of smuggling cocaine into Miami.
• Cristian Eduardo Garcia Jerez, 36, was returned from Colombia to Georgia for allegedly operating two cocaine labs and coordinating smuggling operations into the U.S.
• Jose Guillermo Granja Rojas, 36, was also extradited from Colombia to Georgia, where he faces money laundering conspiracy charges linked to a Mexico-based drug cartel.
• Tien Vy Tai Truong, 46, was extradited from Thailand to California to face charges related to a plan to export 200 pounds of methamphetamine to Australia.

The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs was recognized in the announcement for leading the global effort, which involved the U.S. Marshals Service and federal prosecutors.

"These extraditions demonstrate our unrelenting commitment to holding fugitives accountable — no matter where they flee,” the Justice Department said in a statement, thanking international law enforcement partners for their “instrumental” cooperation.
