Next, Special Agents at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City worked with the Government of Mexico to arrange Pope’s return to the United States. The Diplomatic Security Service reports that the US Marshals Service and Mexican authorities returned Pope to Miami, Florida, on January 18.

Once he reached Miami, John Pope was immediately taken to a federal court, and he remains in federal custody.

Before Pop can answer to the fraud charges in San Francisco County, he will travel to the federal District of New Hampshire.

Speaking about the case, the Director of the Diplomatic Security Service, Jeffrey W. Culver, said, “John Pope’s capture after 13 years on the run is evidence that those who commit passport fraud will not escape justice. The Diplomatic Security Service not only investigates false passports, but our Special Agents assigned to American Embassies in more 185 countries pursue hundreds of international fugitives every year. This success of this capture is an example of Diplomatic Security’s excellent relationship and cooperation with Mexican authorities and our tireless pursuit of those who flee American justice.”

The Bureau of Diplomatic Security was involved with more than 1575 arrests around the world, in 2010. These arrests are mainly related to passport and visa fraud.
