Badru Abdul Aziz Saleh, a/k/a “Badro” is a Kenyan citizen, born January 1, 1976.  According to a U.S. federal indictment,  in or about August 2018 through about May 2019, Saleh and others who were iidentified during a wildlife trafficking investigation conspired to distribute at least 10 kilograms of heroin to a buyer located in New York. After several meetings, Saleh and his co-conspirators delivered the first kilogram of heroin to a buyer in Nairobi, Kenya.

According to the indictment, in June 2019, Saleh fled from law enforcement, along with his co-conspirators, before completing the remaining heroin transaction.  He was subsequently arrested by Kenyan authorities for drug trafficking in Kenya. During Saleh’s judicial process in Kenya, he was released on bail.  Saleh has not been seen since and remains a fugitive with an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

In June 2021, following a joint investigation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned an indictment charging Saleh and other coconspirators  with  conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.
