Now, she’s a runaway bride.
A woman busted and charged as a serial bigamist for marrying 10 times without getting a single divorce was a no-show in court Monday, and a Bronx judge issued a warrant for her arrest.
Last month, Liana Barrientos pleaded not guilty to felony fraud charges in connection with a green card scam that illegally paired her with foreign men looking for a way into the country.
Prosecutors said the serial bride married 10 green card-seeking grooms over the course of 10 years from places including Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Mali, Turkey, the Czech Republic and Georgia.
“The motive was definitely not love,” one source said.
Her most recent nuptials came on March 4, 2010.
Barrientos is accused of falsifying official records. She allegedly claimed in documents for her 2010 wedding that she had never been married before.
And she told an investigator from the Bronx District Attorney’s Office that her exchange of vows with a man named Salle Keita “was her first and only marriage,” court papers charge.
Barrientos also allegedly submitted different variations of her name in marriage papers, omitting or abbreviating her middle name or changing spellings.
She allegedly received a $2,000 payoff from one of the “husbands.”
Barrientos’ eighth husband, Rashid Rajput, was deported to Pakistan for making threatening statements against the United States in 2006, prosecutors said.
She wore a wedding and engagement ring on her left hand at her arraignment last month.
Barrientos faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
