Two men charged with credit card fraud

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the United States Attorneys on March 9, 2016. It is reproduced in full below.

A two-count indictment was filed charging two men with crimes related to counterfeit credit cards, said Acting U.S. Attorney Carole S. Rendon.

Luis Diaz-Cordova, 43, of Phoenix, and Yandy Martinez-Guerra, 25, if Miami, were both indicted on one count each of possession of at least 15 unauthorized access devices (credit cards) and trafficking in unauthorized access devices.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Megan Miller and Robert Kern following an investigation by the Bureua of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If convicted, their sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including prior criminal records, if any, their role in the offenses and the unique characteristics of the violations. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
