The FBI New York Office has published photos on the social media platform X of an individual extradited from Georgia, noting his appearance before the court after a ten-year manhunt.

“Davud Ansariy, a citizen of Uzbekistan and naturalized citizen of the United States, will be arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn this afternoon on an indictment charging him with one count of conspiring and one count of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Al-Nusrah Front (ANF). Ansariy was extradited to the Eastern District of New York from the country of Georgia on September 23, 2026, where he was arrested in August 2026”, reads the information.

Davud Ansariy fled the U.S. for Turkey in 2016 and had been a wanted person since then. Through cooperation between the Prosecutor's Office of Georgia and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Prosecutor's Office arrested the individual within Georgian territory and, in accordance with established procedures, extradited him to the United States.

The U.S. Department of Justice thanked the Prosecutor's Office of Georgia today for its cooperation and efforts in the fight against terrorism, as well as for the arrest of the wanted individual.
