A Leola man is among 18 indicted Monday by federal prosecutors in an alleged fake driver's license scheme, The Plain Dealer newspaper reported Tuesday.
Artak Serobyan, 25, operated as an intermediate broker in the scheme, the Cleveland, Ohio, newspaper said.
Others indicted for conspiracy to traffic in fake licenses and identification cards were from Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey, The Plain Dealer reported.
The FBI believes anywhere from 300 to 500 fake documents were obtained through the scheme, the newspaper reported.
The scheme involved producing fake Ohio driver's licenses or identification cards for illegal immigrants, The Plain Dealer said. It was connected to a larger scheme to bring Ukrainians to the United States on fake visas.
The FBI said in October that an employee of the U.S. embassy in Kiev was selling visas for $12,000, the newspaper reported.
