A large criminal network has been indicted for a scheme giving driver's licenses to unqualified individuals who did not take required road tests. Fourteen defendants include government workers, test impostors, and individuals who paid for licenses. They face severe charges such as tampering with public records and identity theft. The investigation revealed DMV examiners accepted payments to falsify test results or permitted individuals to skip tests entirely. Serious public safety risks arise from unqualified drivers on the roads, raising homeland security concerns.
A massive network of criminals masterminded a scheme to give driver's licenses to unqualified people who never even took a road test, all in exchange for money.
They face a slew of charges ranging from tampering with public records, offering a false instrument for filing, falsifying business records and identity theft.
NYS motor vehicle examiners accepted cash in exchange for falsifying the results of countless road test examinations or in many cases, allowing individuals to bypass the testing process altogether.
Countless individuals are now driving on our roads without ever having demonstrated the basic skills necessary to do so safely.
