2…………>  Identity Theft By Mexican Residents

.

OMAHA, Neb. – A Mexican citizen was sentenced to eight months in prison for two counts of making a false claim of citizenship and two counts of making a false representation of a social security number. This case came to the attention of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) after a victim (Victim 1) contacted their tip line to report that she was the victim of identity theft. Victim 1 became aware that her identity had been stolen while filing her taxes and after being contacted by her college informing her that she was in jeopardy of losing her financial aid due to the income being earned in her name in Nebraska.

In October 2017, Griselda Genchi-Garcia, 27, a citizen of Mexico, applied for asylum to the United States from Mexico via the San Ysidro Port of Entry, California. She was given a notice to appear and informed she was a noncitizen and not a citizen or national of the United States. Genchi-Garcia was not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing card, or other valid entry document. Immigration proceedings were initiated, and Genchi-Garcia was released on parole due to humanitarian concerns, pending interview with an asylum officer.

5…………> Chinese Drug Launderer Caught: Long Prison Vacation

.
CHICAGO — A Chinese national living in Illinois was sentenced to 14 years in prison for laundering illegal narcotics proceeds on behalf of drug traffickers in Mexico, and Xianbing Gan, 51, was remanded immediately after sentencing.

“The defendant was part of a recent phenomenon in which a relatively small network of Chinese money brokers based in Mexico have come to dominate international money laundering markets,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sean J.B. Franzblau and Richard M. Rothblatt argued in the government’s sentencing memorandum. “Like defendant, many of these brokers are also engaged in a legitimate business and use that business as a cover to further money laundering activity. It does not matter that defendant never personally distributed narcotics – drug distribution and money laundering are two-sides of the same malignant coin.”
