A senior official at the agency explained that authorities arrested Akram after a search operation that lasted weeks and included raids in several areas of Pakistan, while the US Attorney's Office in Florida announced that federal charges had been filed against him.

The US indictment accused Akram, who lives in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, of running the Labels Bank website and selling more than 5.1 million fake postage labels to more than 5,200 customers, explaining that the estimated losses of more than $126 million represent the alleged damage to the US Postal Service, while it remains unclear whether the Pakistan Postal website's revenue is additional. extradited to the United States or if he faces trial within the country.
