Four Massachusetts residents are accused of using more than 100 stolen identities to get over $1 million in food stamps and pandemic-era unemployment benefits in a multi-state fraud scheme, federal prosecutors say.
"The defendants then prepared and sold the meals at El Primo Restaurant at a complete profit, later wiring the fraud proceeds, among other places, to individuals living in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic," the U.S. Attorney's office said in a statement.
Counterfeit passports, EBT cards, handwritten lists of identities and SNAP-related mailings were found inside the restaurant and Fernandez Vicioso's home, prosecutors said.
The restaurant was also used as a residential address in pandemic unemployment assistance applications, along with the stolen identifies of 29 victims.
