City of London Police have charged a man previously wanted in connection with fraud offences.

Alex McKenzie, 33, from London was arrested by Metropolitan Police officers on Tuesday, 13 September as he disembarked from a flight from San Francisco. US authorities had assisted in deporting McKenzie, after he was identified by the San Francisco Police Department on 26 July 2016.

McKenzie appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court charged with fraud by false representation and was remanded into custody. He will appear at Isleworth Crown Court on 12 October 2016.

McKenzie’s image had been circulated to national and international media in July, as part of a widespread appeal to identify ten suspected fraudsters wanted for fraud offences involving a total of £20 million.

The ten fraudsters were identified through the work of the Joint Fraud Taskforce – an initiative launched in February by former Home Secretary Theresa May.

The taskforce brings together law enforcement agencies, the financial sector and government to tackle criminals who target the public, UK businesses and the UK economy.
