Sheriff: 4 arrested for running fraudulent immigration law office

Four people have been arrested in Florida for allegedly operating a fake immigration law firm and promising to help people with their various immigration claims. Instead, the sheriff's office said, the business collected some $20 million from helpless victims who ultimately were no closer to citizenship than when they started. Vagner Soares De Almeida, his wife Juliana Colucci, and alleged associates Ronaldo Decampos and Lucas Filipe Trindade Silva were arrested on charges of racketeering, organized fraud, extortion, and unauthorized practice of law. The sheriff's office said the victims -- primarily Brazilian nationals -- were found in Florida, South Carolina, Connecticut, and New Jersey, and lost between $2,500 and $26,000 dollars.
