DMV Employees Accused of Taking Bribes for Driver's Licenses: DA
- On Tuesday, New York City prosecutors arrested seven individuals accused of running a scheme that fraudulently issued driver’s licenses through T&E Driving School in Queens and cooperating DMV employees on Staten Island.
- The scheme involved T&E paying DMV examiners to bypass road tests for many Chinese immigrant clients regardless of their immigration status, driving ability, or English proficiency, exploiting social media and strategic ads to solicit customers.
- Operation Road Test, a collaborative effort involving state and federal law enforcement agencies such as Homeland Security Investigations and the New York State Inspector General’s office, exposed a criminal network responsible for identity theft, altering official records, and forging business documents.
- Officials charged the defendants with 139 counts including impairing licensing exams and identity theft, seized 150 permits, noted the driving school is now permanently closed, and the defendants must appear in state Supreme Court on Sept. 3.
- District Attorney Michael McMahon called the operation a “corrosively corrupt” public safety threat, warning that hundreds or thousands of unqualified drivers are on the roads, and stated this fraud poses risks to homeland security and community safety.
