On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 4, 2025, Mbonyunkiza, who was born in 1968, touched down at Kigali International Airport.

 Following Mbonyunkiza's completion of a 15-year prison sentence in the United States for a rape conviction, U.S. officials made the decision to deport and extradite him.

 Rwanda's National Public Prosecution Authority spokeswoman, Faustin Nkusi, stated that Mbonyunkiza had already been tried and found guilty in absentia by the Nyakabanda Gacaca Court and had been wanted for his role in the genocide for a long time.

 Nkusi affirmed, "The Nyakabanda Gacaca Court found him guilty in 2007 of his involvement in the Genocide against the Tutsi."

In 1992, Mbonyunkiza, who was connected to Matayo Ngirumpatse, led the MRND party in Nyarugenge commune.  He had previously led the MRND's youth branch in 1991 and was an active member of the organization.

 The U.S. government's dedication to combating impunity and assisting in the prosecution of genocide suspects was praised by Nkusi.

 The United States has previously extradited suspected genocide perpetrators to Rwanda.

 The Huye Intermediate Court deported Beatrice Munyenyezi in April 2021 and subsequently sentenced her to life in prison.

 Since then, she has appealed the decision, and the High Council Chamber for International and Cross-Border Crimes in Nyanza is now considering her appeal.

Oswald Rurangwa, who was found guilty by Gacaca courts and given a 30-year prison sentence for his involvement in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, was also extradited by the United States in October 2021.

 The U.S. has already deported other genocide suspects to Rwanda, including Dr. Léopold Munyakazi (2016), Marie Claire Mukeshimana (2011), Jean Mary Vianney Mudahinyuka (2011), and Enos Iragaba Kagaba (extradited in 2005).

 Nkusi reaffirmed Rwanda's gratitude for the two nations' legal cooperation while highlighting the significance of bringing those responsible for the Genocide against the Tutsi to justice.
