The task force is working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and will be seeking the help of law enforcement abroad to find Diamantis, according to Duffy. "There are no doors that are closed," he said. "The defendant failed to appear for sentencing, and efforts are underway to locate him," the FBI said in a statement. "We do not discuss specific investigative steps, resources, or personnel assignments, but the FBI is working with law enforcement partners to ensure he is located and the matter proceeds through the judicial process." Diamantis was not required to wear electronic monitoring as a condition of his release on bond in the federal charges. The agency is in possession of a warrant issued by a federal judge to take Diamantis into custody on a bond violation, Duffy said.
