A pair of Los Angeles convicts who escaped to a European life of luxury under fake names after running a pandemic fraud ring were extradited Thursday from Montenegro to the United States, Montenegrin authorities said.

Agents from the U.S. Marshals Service took custody of fugitives Richard Ayvazyan and Marietta Terabelian at the airport in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, local police said.
