Speaker: Ruben Fernandez
Supervisory Special Agent, HIS

Supervisory Special Agent Ruben Fernandez began his law enforcement career in 1998 with the former Immigration and Naturalization Service in Laredo, Texas, after graduating from Florida International University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a minor in psychology. 
In 2001, he returned home to Miami, Florida, as a Postal Inspector, where he was tasked with investigating a wide range of federal violations with a nexus to the U.S. Mail, including financial fraud schemes.  In 2010, he transferred to Homeland Security Investigations, where he remained focused on financial investigations targeting international money laundering organizations and drug trafficking organizations.  Additionally, during his time at HSI Miami, Special Agent Fernandez was assigned to the Kleptocracy Investigations Group where he conducted investigations of foreign government officials who had embezzled funds from their country’s coffers or had benefited from bribery payments and other illicit schemes.  In 2016, Special Agent Fernandez relocated to HSI Atlanta where he investigated all manners of financial frauds from lottery scams to business email compromises, to identity theft, and credit card fraud. Special Agent Fernandez’s work has been recognized with various awards including an United States Assistant Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service from the U.S.
Department of Justice, an Inspector General’s Special Achievement Award from the Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General, a National Group Achievement Award from the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, a Special Achievement Award from the Domestic Security Alliance Council, and an Agency Award from the United States Attorney’s Office for the
