Massive Fraud in Florida, USA, Related to Cuban Adjustment Act
Washington, Aug 21 (Prensa Latina) The US federal authorities charged 14 people to commit immigration fraud from the benefits granted by the Cuban Adjustment Act (LAC) in 1966 immigrants from the Caribbean island.
These individuals, six of them of Cuban origin residing mostly in the state of Florida, and are suspected of forging false marriages and other serious crimes committed from December 2009 to July 2014 to evade US laws.
According to Assistant US Attorney Robert Emery, who is in charge of the investigation, the defendants recruited Cuban citizens eligible for permanent residence in the United States, thanks to the provisions of the LAC, and coordinating such marriages with foreigners, who pay for the service.
If proven guilty, those involved could face penalties of up to 20 years in prison and possible deportation proceedings after serving their sentences.
A statement posted on the Web site of the Department of Justice, notes that foreign suspects demanded a payment to notarize false marriage licenses and complete the required immigration documentation.
