 Nigerian makes US Most Wanted List over $1m fraud A Nigerian, Onoriode Ezewu, has been named on the United States Department of Labour’s first-ever Most Wanted List over allegations of money laundering involving fraudulent unemployment benefit claims worth more than $1m. The department’s Office of Inspector General unveiled the list on its website on Wednesday, naming 16 fugitives wanted in cases involving alleged fraud, identity theft, money laundering, labour trafficking and other offences. According to the agency, the cases collectively involve more than $55m allegedly stolen from American taxpayers. Ezewu’s profile on the department’s website identifies him as wanted for concealment money laundering and states that he is believed to be residing in Nigeria. “In January 2021, Ezewu was charged with 15 counts of concealment money laundering tied to fraudulent UI and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance claims filed using stolen identities, in a scheme exceeding $1 million that also t...

The Miss France Organization has announced it will suspend sending a representative to Miss Universe 2026. The decision stems from ongoing concerns regarding the transparency of the selection process and organizational management.


”THE MISS FRANCE ORGANIZATION AWAITS EXPLANATIONS


For its part, the Miss France organization followed this whole affair closely. At the time of the altercation between Miss Mexico and her Thai host, the French representative Eve Gilles stood up to leave the room in support of Fatima Bosch, before finally sitting back down, confused amidst the commotion. From a distance, Frédéric Gilbert, president of the Miss France organization, said he was on ”absolute vigilance“: ”We told her, ’If there‘s the slightest thing going on, we’ll make the decision to withdraw you from the competition and you‘ll go home.’“


Regarding the opaque selection process, the French delegation confirms having been aware of the ”Beyond The Crown“ program prior to the competition, without clearly understanding that this committee was in charge of choosing the Top 30. The Miss France organization, like the other national committees, is now awaiting answers. ”We all pay a license fee to send someone, so they‘ll have to be held accountable. We can’t just sweep this all under the rug. A blunder can happen. But this series of mishaps, they‘ll have to explain themselves.“


Because it renews its Miss Universe license every year, for a hefty sum—three to four times that of Miss World, which is reportedly $10,000 per participating country—the Miss France organization reserves the right not to renew its participation in the competition next year. ”When we sign, beyond the financial implications, it’s for the image, the respect for the brand and its use. If there are no clear explanations or more precise guidelines, we can seriously question whether to continue. And I know we‘re not the only ones; other countries are asking themselves questions.“
