Arellano was indicted in April 2008. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, one count of identification document fraud, and one count of aggravated identity theft. He could receive a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000. He is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of at least two years in federal prison.
“In many cases, the fraudulent documents contained the Social Security numbers and Alien Registration numbers of real U.S. citizens and legal immigrants to whom they had been lawfully issued,” U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias said. “In using these numbers, these defendants acted with callous disregard for the rights of law abiding citizens and residents of this country.”
