 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.

Former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson arrested in Epstein investigation

British authorities arrested Peter Mandelson, the former U.K. ambassador to the United States, on Monday as part of an investigation into his links with Jeffrey Epstein. London’s Metropolitan Police said a 72-year-old man was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office and was being questioned at a police station in north London. While the force did not name him, Mandelson has previously been identified as the suspect.
The probe centers on allegations that Mandelson shared sensitive government information with Epstein around 15 years ago, though he faces no claims of sexual misconduct. His arrest follows a similar case involving former Prince Andrew, who was taken into custody earlier this month and released after 11 hours. Mandelson was removed from his diplomatic role last September after emails revealed he maintained a friendship with Epstein following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex offenses involving a minor. Documents recently released by the U.S. Justice Department reportedly show Mandelson passed potentially market-sensitive information to Epstein in 2009 while serving in government. Police have searched his residences in London and western England. The controversy has put political pressure on the U.K. leadership, with questions surrounding Mandelson’s appointment and the timing of related documents affecting key figures.
