Six indicted in alleged fake ID scheme

ATLANTA - A raid in Forsyth County earlier this year leads to federal charges against six people in an alleged scheme to provide false identification papers to illegal immigrants.

The six - who were arrested in January - have been indicted by a federal grand jury.

The suspects were allegedly manufacturing fake green cards, Social Security cards, and fake Mexican driver's licenses.

Randy Chartash of the U.S. Attorney's office in Atlanta says its becoming easier and easier to produce such documents with the advent of sophisticated computer technology.

The six suspects were reportedly selling some of the fake I.D. cards for as much as $3,000 each.

Those named in the indictments are: Martin Calisto, 33; Jesus Delgadillo, 21; Oscar Garcia, 23; Julio Guazo, 30; Raul Ortiz, 30; and Maria Tolentino, 28.
