Hanoi: A wanted US citizen of Vietnamese origin has been arrested and deported from Vietnam after being in hiding for more than three years.
Dang Van Viet, 44, from Maryland, was wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges that he sexually abused his daughter for nearly 10 years.
The Public Security Ministry-run People's Police newspaper reported on Saturday that Viet was handed over to the FBI and deported on Friday.
Viet reportedly returned to Vietnam in January 2005 and last year opened an internet services company in Can Tho, where he was detected and arrested.
