KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A Ugandan court has ordered the deportation of an American who has been on trial in Kampala for counterfeiting currency notes worth $180,400.
Magistrate Flavia Nabakooza on Thursday ordered Ryan Andrew Gustafson to be deported home where he is facing similar charges.
U.S. authorities in December 2014 charged Gustafson with leading a multimillion-dollar international counterfeit money operation based in Uganda. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania said when he lived in the U.S., Gustafson mainly lived in Texas and Colorado.
Gustafson was arrested on Dec. 11, 2014. Printers and other equipment used to make high-quality fake $20, $50 and $100 bills were seized.
