The FBI put both men, Mohsin Raza, 34, and Mujtaba Raza, 33, on its cybercrime wanted list. The two were believed to be in Karachi, authorities said.
According to Acting U.S. Attorney Rachel Honig in Newark, the men dealt with counterfeit passports, driver’s licenses, and national identity cards associated with more than 200 countries and territories around the world.
“The indictment alleges a global scheme to produce fraudulent identity documents that other wrongdoers then used to further additional illegal activity, including activity intended to interfere with U.S. elections,” Honig said in a statement.
According to the indictment, the men allegedly accepted more than $1.5 million just in Bitcoin transfers from customers, in connection with more than 20,000 separate transactions.
The online operation was based out of Karachi, authorities said, using the names “SecondEye Solution” and “Forwarderz,” and advertised services on cyber hacker forums.
