An Ikeja Special Offences Court has sentenced Marco Ramirez, an American businessman, to 74 years in prison for fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) prosecuted Ramirez on a 16-count charge, which included obtaining $1,235,000 under false pretenses as processing fees for investments that would qualify victims for a USA green card.
The convict was arraigned alongside his companies, USA NOW LLC, Eagle Ford Instalodge Group LP, and USA Now Energy Capital Group LP.
He pleaded not guilty to all charges but was found guilty by the court.
The judge, Mojisola Dada, sentenced Ramirez to various terms of imprisonment on the different counts of the charges. The prosecution proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and the convict was found guilty of fraud.
