FBI's four-fold hike in reward for Ten Most Wanted list, features first ever cyber fugitive

WASHINGTON: (Mar 18) The FBI has increased to USD one million the reward money for tip-offs on fugitives on its Ten Most Wanted list that includes an Indian national on the run in an 11-year-old murder case and features for the first time a cyber criminal wanted for allegedly leading an international ATM jackpotting scheme.

Addressing a press conference here, Heith R Janke, Assistant Director, Criminal Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said three fugitives were added to the Ten Most Wanted list last week, and one was arrested soon after the listing.

Indian national Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel has been on the run after allegedly killing his wife on April 12, 2015, in a doughnut shop in Hanover, Maryland, and was last spotted in Newark, New Jersey.
