A BRITON wanted by the US federal authorities for manufacturing, importing and exporting marijuana was arrested by agents of the Bureau of Immigration.
Gypsy Nirvana, 53, is now detained at the BI detention center in Bicutan, Taguig City following his arrest last Aug. 27 at the Subic Freeport in Olongapo.
A US district court in Maine issued a warrant of arrest against Nirvana following his indictment on multiple counts of narcotics trafficking and money laundering.
Nirvana was allegedly profiting hugely from his UK-based marijuana seed auction business which catered mostly to American customers who transacted with him either via the Internet or by mail and money wire transfers.
The racket was reportedly uncovered only after several informants, who were Nirvanas former associates, tipped the US authorities about his activities.
On July 11, 2011 Customs agents at the Boston Logan International Airport in Maine intercepted a UK-bound shipment of marijuana seeds allegedly purchased by Nirvana.
The incident resulted in raids on several marijuana plantations in Maine and the arrest of the suspects who exposed and detailed the extent of Nirvanas marijuana business.
Nirvana, described as a high profile fugitive, will be fetched from Manila by a team of US Marshals after the BI Board of Commissioners issued the order for his summary deportation
