Long arm of the law to protect the American consumer my friend. The United States government maintains an embassy within each country around the globe. Each embassy is considered United States soil regardless the country it is located. Within each United States Embassy around the globe exist a Federal Bureau of Investigation office. Each of these FBI offices, by international agreement with the host nation in which it resides, obtains arrest power and power to extradite to the United States for prosecution, via international agreement with the host country to return fugitives to the nation where they may have committed a crime. Long arm f the law. As a matter of fact, these are the telephone numbers to FBI So Africa and FBI United Kingdom.

Those are the telephone numbers to FBI South Africa and FBI United kingdom including jurisdiction. Once notified of a crime, FBI South Africa and FBI United Kingdom both activate the international agreement and immediately freeze assets. FBI then activates host nation law enforcement to apprehend the owners of the assets and subsequently extradites them to the United State for prosecution.
Sadaam Hussein maintained billions in assets within hidden bank accounts in Switzerland and within the United States. Those assets were frozen when the war in Iraq started.
