A man accused of faking his own death to
swindle a Chicago-area insurance company out of more than $400,000
has been arrested by FBI agents.
Fifty-six-year-old Abdelhamid Sedrati (Seh-DRAH-tee)
was the subject of an eight-year international manhunt. FBI's
Chicago office says he was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield
International Airport in Atlanta last Wednesday.
The FBI says Sedrati faked his death in 1996
to scam Allstate Insurance Company of suburban Northbrook out of
more than $426,000 in life insurance benefits paid to his sister.
Sedrati is being moved to Chicago to face a
mail fraud charge.
It was not immediately clear who he'd
retained as an attorney.
