Four employees in the Massachusetts Vehicle Registry (RMV) are accused of producing fake IDs for illegal immigrants in exchange for cash.

According to the Department of Justice, in October 2015, the Massachusetts State Police received an anonymous letter alleging that a corrupt RMV employee was selling fake IDs and driving licenses.

After investigation, the police discovered that a number of RMV workers, along with outsiders, were managing the identity theft scheme. On Wednesday, 2 August, 6 people were arrested in this case: Evelyn Medina, 56 years, Annette Gracia, 37 years, David Briman, 46 years, Kimberly Jordan, 33 years.

Biviag Brea, 41 year, and Rafael Bonano, 32, did not work at RMV, but participated in a fraudulent scheme, acting as a document provider and dealer, respectively.

According to investigators, this scheme worked as follows: Bonano, working as a seller of documents, sells birth certificates in Puerto Rico and a US social security card to Breth's partner for $ 900. Brea then allegedly sells these documents for more than $ 2000 to people who are looking for valid IDs in Massachusetts.

According to the police, Brea uses fake IDs and documents to register people in Boston. Brea receives IDs in Haymarket RMVwhere four employees allegedly accept cash for issuing authentic RMV documents, including driver’s licenses and identity cards.

The Ministry of Justice claims that employees also “received cash to use the RMV system to fulfill requests, including auditing the number of social security numbers, to confirm that the identification data that clients are stealing actually belonged to the persons being audited”.

According to the Ministry of Justice, the clients who paid for the fake documents were illegal immigrants, previously deported people and people who had previously been accused of selling drugs.
