Until this guy gets convicted of a crime in the US, the FCC won't have

Then, get the guy convicted of a crime and *then* complain to the FCC

If it involves illegal transmission by a US citizen or resident of
electromagnetic waves anywhere, between 3000Hz and light waves, it is within
the FCC's scope to take action.

You should really rethink your position. *A couple of people here have
attempted to steer you in the right direction. *The FCC has no
jurisdiction in a foreign land.

I think the FCC could take some very indirect action, if they really
wanted to. That does not mean FCC has jurisdiction outside US-
controlled territory.

For example, if a person commits communications-related violations
elsewhere, FCC could consider those violations as a "character issue"
when issuing or renewing someone's FCC license. That thinking goes
along the lines of "if the person won't follow the communications laws
of Country X when the person is in Country X, why should we expect
that person to follow FCC rules when they are under FCC
jurisdiction?".

FCC has used a similar argument against the licenses of people
convicted of non-radio crimes in the USA.

So while it is not directly going after someone for violations
committed outside FCC's jurisdiction, those violations could have FCC-
related consequences.
