SDNY Exclusive, March 14 – Pierre Dadak, a reputed arms dealer and fraudster, was extradited to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and presented before SDNY Chief Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on March 14. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.
The just-unsealed indictment is for wire fraud (pretending to represent a luxury brand and stealing), aggravated identity theft, extortion and transactions involving a diamond-encrusted watch and a luxury vehicle.
Previously, Dadak has been linked to arms sales in South Sudan, The Gambia, Burma, Colombia, Libya, India, Cameroon, Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and the United Arab Emirates (currently arming a faction in Sudan).
Dadak, as is the case with most but not all of those extradited in, consented to detention, with a retained (paid) lawyer. The AUSA said the (re) assigned District Judge will see Dadak on March 25.
