NORTH CAROLINA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"A resident of Montego Bay, Jamaica, was extradited to the United States and made his initial appearance in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina, on charges relating to his participation in a fraudulent lottery scheme that targeted elderly victims in the U.S., officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Antony L. Stewart, 38, was charged in a nine-count indictment with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stewart is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MacBookAccording to the unsealed indictment, Stewart and his co-conspirators sought to unlawfully enrich themselves through a fraudulent lottery scheme targeting the elderly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Victims throughout the U.S. received phone calls in which they were falsely informed that they had won cash prizes totaling over $1 million and needed to pay fees to claim their winnings, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment alleges that victims were instructed on how to send their money, including through the use of money transmitter services, wire transfers, and the U.S. Postal Service, and to whom. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The indictment further alleges victims were instructed to purchase electronics and other expensive goods and to send them to Stewart\u2019s co-conspirators, who ultimately forwarded the goods and money to Stewart in Jamaica. <\/span><\/p>\n

The victims never received any \u201cwinnings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Justice Department\u2019s Office of International Affairs worked with law enforcement partners in Jamaica to secure the arrest and extradition of Stewart.<\/span><\/p>\n

The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorneys Raquel Toledo and Ryan E. Norman of the Civil Division\u2019s Consumer Protection Branch, with the assistance of Assistant U.S. Attorney Jenny Sugar for the Western District of North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigated the case.<\/span><\/p>\n
