In this Epoch Times article, Zachary Stieber reports that Danish vaccine researcher Poul Thorsen has been extradited to the United States and arraigned on fraud-related charges after years as a fugitive.
- Thorsen, 65, was transported from Germany to the United States on May 7 and arraigned on federal wire fraud and money laundering charges.
- Prosecutors allege Thorsen stole more than $1 million in U.S. grant money connected to CDC-funded research.
- The research grants involved studies related to autism and vaccines, cerebral palsy and pregnancy infections, and fetal alcohol exposure.
- According to the Justice Department, Thorsen allegedly submitted fraudulent invoices with forged CDC signatures to divert money into personal accounts.
- Authorities say the money was used for personal purchases, including a home in Atlanta, vehicles, and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
- Thorsen was originally indicted in April 2011 and remained outside U.S. custody for nearly 14 years.
- He was arrested in Germany on June 4, 2025, after an INTERPOL Red Notice tied to the 2011 warrant.
- The HHS Office of Inspector General lists Thorsen as “extradited” and says the case involved alleged diversion of CDC grant money meant for public health research.
- The indictment contains charges only, and Thorsen is presumed innocent unless prosecutors prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
