The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has secured the extradition of a Bangladeshi national from Malaysia after arresting him with the assistance of Malaysian authorities.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that Zobaidul Amin, 28, accused of operating an international child sexual exploitation enterprise and wanted since 2022, was flown to the United States and arrived in Alaska on Thursday (March 5, 2026).

He is expected to be formally charged later today, according to Malaysian newspaper Free Malaysia Today.

Patel expressed gratitude to Malaysian authorities for their cooperation, saying, “Thank you to our Kuala Lumpur office, the government of Malaysia, and our great local partners all over the country who assisted with the investigation and arrest.”

In a post on X, Patel shared images appearing to show three FBI officers escorting the suspect to a private jet on a runway in Malaysia.
