NEWARK, N.J.: Authorities say a New Jersey man offered a federal employee a cash bribe to favourably handle and review non-immigrant visas so people from the Dominican Republic could apply for entry into the United States.
Luis Santos, the 27-year-old Teaneck man, was charged with bribery of a public official.
Federal prosecutors say Santos offered to pay a United States Consular Adjudicator approximately $2,500 for his help with the visas. But they did not say if the bribe was accepted,
Santos faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. AP
