THREE individuals have been separately charged in federal court with conspiring to produce falsified CNMI driver’s license.
Chun Li, Bernadita Antoni Zata, and Margarito Cortez Villafuerte were each charged by the U.S. government with one count of “conspiracy to unlawfully produce an identification document.”
According to court documents, Chun Li on Jan. 4, 2019 conspired and agreed with another person to produce false identification document, to wit, a CNMI driver’s license to be issued to him.
The District Court for the NMI appointed attorney Robert T. Torres to represent Li who is scheduled to appear in court on July 7 at 9:30 a.m.
Bernadita Antoni Zata, for her part, conspired and agreed with another person identified as B.S. to produce a “CNMI driver’s license” on Feb. 16, 2017, court documents stated.
Torres was also appointed to represent Zata in the proceedings, but, as of Wednesday afternoon, no hearing had been scheduled for her appearance in court.
As for Margarito Cortez Villafuerte, court documents stated that on June 21, 2017, he intentionally conspired and agreed with an individual identified as B.S. to commit an offense against the United States: specifically, to knowingly and without lawful authority produce an identification document — namely, a CNMI driver’s license.
The federal court appointed attorney Steven Pixley to represent Villafuerte, but, as of Wednesday afternoon, no hearing had been scheduled for the defendant’s appearance in court.
