According to the Federal Probation Office on Saipan, Mohamad Ruhul Amin consented to modify the terms of his supervised release.

The probation office told the federal court that on June 15, 2011, Supervisory U.S. Probation Officer Brian Colgan of Arizona contacted their office on Saipan, and informed that Amin had been released from the custody of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On July 21, 2008, then-Chief Judge Alex R. Munson sentenced Amin to 18 months imprisonment followed by three years supervised released for conspiracy to defraud the United States, make a false statement in application for passport, and subornation of perjury.

Amin would be turned over to a duly authorized immigration official for deportation proceedings. This was one the conditions of his supervised release.

Amin married Rose Mayo Reyes on May 9, 2007 to enable the defendant to obtain immediate relative status under the CNMI immigration laws, according to the indictment,

In exchange for the marriage, the indictment stated, “Amin provided Reyes with money and gifts worth several hundred dollars.”

Amin and Reyes never lived, and never intended to live, together as man and wife, the indictment added.
