Guatemalan Man Charged with Transfer of False Identification Document

According to court documents, on July 6, 2018, ARGUETA-CHUN knowingly transferred a fraudulent Social Security card that appeared to have been issued by the United States.

If convicted, ARGUETA-CHUN faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 15 years, a fine of $250,000, 3 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment fee.

U.S. Attorney Strasser reiterated that a bill of information is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
