Fake US visa racket busted


According to the Civil Police, the documents required for visa applicants were forged from the moment they had to fill up the first form to the port.
Police Station for Defrauding (DDEF in the original acronym) held today (Oct. 21) four suspects of defrauding the process for issuing US visas. They charged $7,000 for each visa, and the amount was supposed to be paid to another gang member settled in the United States.
According to the Civil Police, the documents required for visa applicants were forged from the moment they had to fill up the first form to the port. All documentation was adequate to US government requirements.
Some of the customers of the racket were hosted in the house of the gang for weeks to receive special training for the interview.
Also according to the police, the US government will pursue investigations in the United States in order to arrest the identified and deport the Brazilians who obtained visas under these conditions.
