A federal grand jury in Houston has indicted three Americans and three Cambodian nationals in an alleged bogus marriage and visa fraud scheme.
U.S. Attorney Jose Angel Moreno on Friday announced three people were arrested in the Houston area, while two suspects were arrested in Midland. The sixth defendant was arrested Thursday in Pasadena.
All six are accused of conspiring to commit marriage fraud to evade immigration laws. One is also charged with visa fraud.
The indictment returned Monday alleges U.S. citizens were recruited and paid to enter into sham marriages with Cambodian nationals.
