Arizona law enforcement breaks up fake document Ring

Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the indictment of Victoria O. Romero, a correctional officer with the Arizona Department of Corrections, charging her with fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. She is the final person to be charged in a Phoenix-based fraud scheme that charged as much as $7,500 for fake immigration documents and victimized more than 500 people from across the country.

The criminal organization attracted victims with the promise of obtaining legitimate resident alien cards, also known as "green cards." In an effort to show their legitimacy, the defendants put each victim through an application process that included having their fingerprints taken. Victims actually received phony cards or no cards.
