BOSTON - A Guatemalan national who resided in Lynn was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for passport fraud.
Gladys Reynoso Zapet, 39, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin to time served (one day). Reynoso Zapet will face deportation proceedings. In January 2020, Reynoso Zapet pleaded guilty to making a false statement in an application for a United States passport.
In February 2012, Reynoso Zapet applied for a U.S. passport at a post office in Lynn under the name of a U.S. citizen from Puerto Rico. On the passport application, Reynoso Zapet used the name, date of birth and Social Security number of the other individual. She also submitted a Puerto Rican birth certificate and a Massachusetts identification card, both in the name of the other individual, as well as a photograph of herself with the application.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling and Jonathan Davidson, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of Lelling’s Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
