"BOSTON – A Dominican national was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for passport fraud and identity theft.
Alvaro Luis Soto-Martinez, 31, a Dominican national who was residing in Hyde Park, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani to two years in prison, three years of supervised release, and will face deportation proceedings upon completion of his sentence. In May 2017, Soto-Martinez pleaded guilty to one count of passport fraud, one count of misuse of a social security number, and one count of aggravated identity theft.
On Oct. 15, 2014, Soto-Martinez used the name, date of birth, and social security number of a United States citizen from Puerto Rico to apply for a United States passport at a Post Office in Lowell.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb; Matthew Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston; and William B. Gannon, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Boston Field Office, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Soivilien of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case."
What was this person thinking, that the feds would not figure this out? Lucky he only get two years. He could have gotten 20 years.
To see what he can expect in federal prison, go here...
