DOJ v. Cristian Daniel Diaz-Garcia

Cristian Daniel Diaz-Garcia has been sentenced to federal prison for aggravated identity theft, false representation of a Social Security number, and making a false claim of United States citizenship for employment purposes.

On February 1, 2023, Diaz-Garcia again applied for employment with the Joint Venture in Pinellas County and filled out an I-9 form for use in the E-Verify system, falsely identifying himself as a U.S. citizen and using that person’s means of identification to defeat the E-Verify system.
