Romanian Scammer Faked Injuries to Be Smuggled Into US in Mexican Ambulance
A criminal illegal alien has been sentenced to 18 months in prison amid a crackdown on a transnational criminal organization based in Romania.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) just released details about the operation, which led to the conviction of Marius Catalin Trica, a Romanian national who was smuggled into the U.S. on several occasions.
In June 2025, Trica falsified facial injuries during an incident that led to him being transported across the southern border in an ambulance from Mexico.
Trica was arrested and later pleaded guilty to bank fraud in November 2025.
Trica and fellow scammers imported skimming devices and fraudulent identification documents which they used to rip off EBT recipients in New York by withdrawing cash from ATMs in the Los Angeles area.
