The feds rounded up more than two dozen participants in a massive $1.5 million immigration fraud scheme, including a Bronx reverend who allegedly presided over sham weddings uniting illegal immigrants with U.S. citizens.
Ringleader Beverly Mozer-Browne, 49, is charged with raking in a fortune by fraudulently supplying hundreds of green cards to illegal immigrants after first helping them tie the knot in bogus marriages.
Bronx reverend Cameron Lloyd, of the Faith Corporation and Baptist Church on East Tremont Avenue, oversaw the nuptials, authorities said.
Mozer-Browne cut through the red tape with help from her brother Phillip Browne, 40, a district adjudication officer with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, who rubber-stamped the green card applications, authorities said.
Using her Queens business Help Preparers Professional Services as a front, Mozer-Browne, 49, allegedly charged between $8,000 and $16,000 for each green card.
