New Philadelphia native Julio Tzip-Yac, also known as Bush, has been hit with federal charges for manufacturing and distributing counterfeit identification documents.
The 30-year-old suspect is accused of possessing a computer and equipment capable of producing fake alien registration cards, Social Security cards, and state driver’s licenses. The charges span from June 27, 2013, to dates in 2012 and 2013.
According to Steven M. Dettelbach, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, a federal grand jury returned an indictment against Tzip-Yac, charging him with one count of possession of document-making implements and four counts of fraudulent identification documents.
This investigation is a collaborative effort between Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Assistant United States Attorney Phillip J. Tripi is handling the prosecution.
The potential sentence for Tzip-Yac will be determined by the court after reviewing factors specific to his case, such as criminal record and role in the offense. However, any sentence imposed will not exceed the statutory maximum, with most cases seeing sentences less than the maximum.
It’s important to note that an indictment is merely a charge, and Tzip-Yac maintains the right to a fair trial where the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
