FBI Birmingham, in collaboration with ALEA, Homeland Security Investigations, and local law enforcement, apprehended an international fugitive wanted for sexual abuse of a minor in Italy.
During an authorized search of the subject’s residence in Madison, multiple fraudulent identifications were also discovered.
“The FBI is fully committed to crushing violent crime and we appreciate the remarkable work and strong partnerships in removing the worst of the worst from our communities,” said David R. Fitzgibbons, Special Agent in Charge of the Birmingham Division.
This operation is part of Operation Summer Heat, the FBI’s nationwide initiative targeting violent crime during the summer months.
The Italian male is now being detained pending removal from the United States. The fugitive’s name wasn’t released by law enforcement on Friday.
