Uganda to deport American charged in US

Magistrate Flavia Nabakooza on Thursday ordered Ryan Andrew Gustafson to be deported home where he is facing similar charges.

US authorities in December 2014 charged Gustafson with leading a multimillion-dollar international counterfeit money operation based in Uganda. The US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania said when he lived in the US, Gustafson mainly lived in Texas and Colorado.

Gustafson was arrested on December 11, 2014.

Printers and other equipment used to make high-quality fake $20, $50 and $100 bills were seized.
