Two men charged in fraudulent document scheme


MIAMI- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Special Agent-in-Charge Jesus Torres and R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, announced that two men were arrested here on Nov. 14 by ICE special agents for manufacturing and selling fraudulent employment authorization documents and fraudulent Social Security cards.

Gino Hans Suarez, 32, a native of Peru and naturalized United States citizen and David Jorge Monje, 31, of Argentina, were charged via criminal complaint for their alleged involvement in a document fraud scheme.

Both men had their initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres on Wednesday, Nov. 15. If convicted, they face up to 25 years imprisonment.

Monje entered the country on Feb. 20, 2002 under the Visa Waiver Program, under which citizens of selected countries -- including Argentina -- are allowed to enter the United States using a passport in lieu of a non-immigrant visa.

Under the program, Monje was given until May 20, 2002 to depart from the United States but he opted to remain in the country and break the law. Upon the completion of his criminal charges, Monje will be expeditiously removed from the country back to Argentina.

The public is reminded that a criminal complaint and/or indictment contain only charges and are not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial and the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Assistant United States Attorney Benton Curtis is handling the prosecution of the case.

Torres thanked the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office for their assistance with the investigation.
