Orlando, Florida – U.S. District Judge Wendy W. Berger has sentenced Milton Guillermo Segarra-Bartolomei (44, Kissimmee) to three years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for passport fraud and aggravated identity theft. Segarra-Bartolomei had pleaded guilty on June 28, 2022.
According to court documents, Segarra-Bartolomei assumed a stolen identity and used it to obtain a U.S. Passport, and then to apply for his minor son’s passport. Segarra-Bartolomei assumed the stolen identity to avoid apprehension in Puerto Rico, where a warrant had been issued for his arrest for an attempted murder that occurred in 2006.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, Homeland Security Investigations, the Florida Highway Patrol, and the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shannon Laurie.
