This is the FBI’s contemporary prosecution account, not an independent finding about every allegation. A foreign arrest or transfer, an indictment, a jury verdict and sentencing are distinct events. No U.S. prison-admission day is inferred from the foreign arrest or court appearance. No release date is calculated from a sentence. Birth and death dates remain unverified; no race or religious identity is inferred. The BOP locator was checked October 22, 2026; no-result searches are not treated as proof of release or death.
