Allan Guedes Sharif, 28, is charged with threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a maximum life sentence, and other crimes for terrorizing the four financial institutions last Aug. 29.
The indictment accuses Sharif of targeting Deutsche Bank, Bank of New York, Bank of America and Société Générale, but authorities have eyed him for as many as 27 such calls in the past.
Sharif faces similar charges in Florida for calling at least three Miami banks last March 27, and demanding money and the release of an imprisoned pal.
The feds have long suspected Sharif of hiding out in Portugal, a country where he claims to have citizenship.
Authorities issued a new warrant for Sharif's arrest yesterday.
Sharif went on the lam after he was indicted for federal fraud charges, impersonating a Drug Enforcement Administration agent and other crimes in 2005.
