Gal Pissetzky
who legally represents Ramon Abass aka Hushpuppi has said that the action of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, to extradite his client from Dubai to
the US is an act of kidnap.
Speaking to
BBC, Pissetzky said that his client is not a citizen of the so the FBI lacks
the right to extradite him from Dubai to the US.
Pissetzky,
said, “In my opinion, the FBI and the government here acted illegally when they
kidnapped him from Dubai without any legal process to do so.
“There was no
extradition, there were no legal steps taken, there were no court documents
filed, it was simply a call to the FBI. He is not a citizen of the United
States, the US had absolutely no authority to take him.”
Pissetzky had
earlier stated that Hushpuppi is not a fraudster as widely claimed. According
to him, he’s into real estates.
Hushpuppi was
arrested in Dubai for fraud in the tune of N168 billion.
