Mwanamume mmoja raia wa Uingereza na Nigeria amekiri katika mahakama ya Marekani kudanganya na kuiba zaidi ya $6m (£4.7m) katika kipindi cha miaka saba.
Idris Dayo Mustapha, 33, alikuwa sehemu ya wadukuzi waliopenyeza barua pepe na akaunti za udalali za makampuni ya Marekani kati ya 2011 na 2018, na kusababisha hasara ya thamani ya $6m (£4.7m), maafisa walisema.
Raia wa nchi mbili wa Uingereza na Nigeria, Mustapha alirejeshwa kutoka Uingereza mwezi Agosti, miaka miwili baada ya kukamatwa.
Uhalifu wake hutumikia kifungo cha hadi miaka 20 jela.
Bado hajahukumiwa.
Mustapha alikiri hatia katika mahakama ya Brooklyn, New York, Jumanne kwa mashtaka manne: uvamizi wa kompyuta, ulaghai wa dhamana, ulaghai wa kutumia waya na ulaghai wa kutumia kifaa.
Mamlaka zinasema Mustapha na pete yake walidukua seva za kompyuta za taasisi za fedha nchini Marekani ili kufikia data ya siri ya mtumiaji, kama vile taarifa za kibinafsi za watumiaji.
Kisha walitumia taarifa na nywila zilizoibwa kutuma pesa na kuhamisha dhamana kutoka kwa akaunti za wahasiriwa wao hadi akaunti zilizo chini ya udhibiti wao.
Pia walitumia akaunti zilizodukuliwa kufanya biashara ya hisa bila mwenye akaunti kujua.
Mamlaka za Marekani zilikuwa zikimfuatilia Mustapha kwa miaka kadhaa.

British-Nigerian hacker pleads guilty to $6m fraud in US court
A British-Nigerian man has confessed in a US court to defrauding and stealing more than $6m (£4.7m) over seven years.
Idris Dayo Mustapha, 33, was part of a hacking ring that infiltrated email and brokerage accounts of US firms between 2011 and 2018, causing losses worth $6m (£4.7m), officials said.
A dual national of the UK and Nigeria, Mustapha was extradited from the UK in August, two years after his arrest.
His crimes carry a jail term of up to 20 years.
He has not yet been sentenced.
Mustapha pleaded guilty plea at a court in Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday to four charges: computer intrusion, securities fraud, wire fraud and access device fraud.
Authorities say Mustapha and his ring hacked into the computer servers of financial institutions in the US to access confidential user data, such as users' personal identifying information.
They then used the stolen information and passwords to wire funds and transfer securities from the accounts of their victims to accounts under their control.
They also used the hacked accounts to conduct stock trades without the knowledge of the account holder.
US authorities had been pursuing Mustapha for several years.
