Four Arrested in Alleged Fake Immigration Law Office Fraud Scheme in Orlando

Four individuals have been arrested in Florida for allegedly operating a fraudulent immigration law firm, defrauding victims of millions of dollars. The suspects, Vagner Soares De Almeida, Juliana Colucci, Ronaldo Decampos, and Lucas Filipe Trindade Silva, are accused of racketeering, organized fraud, extortion, and unauthorized practice of law. The operation, known as Legacy Imigra, posed as an immigration services firm, promising to help undocumented immigrants obtain legal status. However, investigators revealed that no licensed attorneys were involved, and the business operated out of a boarded-up office in Orlando. Victims, primarily Brazilian nationals, were found across Florida, South Carolina, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with reported losses ranging from $2,500 to $26,000.
