Last Friday in Sacramento, a federal jury found Mexican national Gustavo Araujo Lerma guilty of identity theft, passport fraud and five counts of voting by an alien. The case proved unusual in several ways, including the timing
According to the U.S. Attorney, Lerma was born in Mexico in 1955 and in the early 1990s, “acquired and began fraudulently using the identity of a United States citizen named Hiram Velez. Lerma used the Velez identity to unlawfully obtain U.S. passports and to vote in federal elections.†The Diplomatic Security Service of the U.S. State Department uncovered the fraud.
Ripping off the identity of the dead, dramatized in The Day of The Jackal, is a crime that predates the computer age. That was well underway in the 1990s, so legitimate citizens might wonder why it took so long to bag Lerma. Once he had stolen the identity of Hiram Velez, the Mexican compounded the crime.
