South Africa Extradites Six Nigerians to the U.S.

TL;DR

Reuters files six suspected Black Axe members handed to U.S. agents in Cape Town; an extradition is not a conviction.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed suspects, not a verdict. Print extradited. Do not print sentenced.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a handover as a finished trial.

South Africa extradited six Nigerian nationals to the United States. [1] Reuters filed them as suspected Black Axe members wanted on wire fraud and money laundering, handed over in Cape Town to FBI and Secret Service officers. [1] An extradition is not a conviction. Print handed over. Do not print sentenced.

Alleged romance scams against more than 100 women, and a 100-million-rand figure, are the charging copy in Friday's wrap. [1] Charging copy is not a jury. Print suspects. Leave a named verdict to the edition that owns a verdict.

Friday recap that treats a tarmac handover as a closed case is a feed, not Reuters. Print six. Print not guilty-as-charged.

Friday is not a verdict.
Six remain suspects on this desk.
