A former Fall River man was sentenced Tuesday to 32 months in federal prison for his role in a nationwide scheme of selling fake rideshare and delivery service accounts, the U.S. Attorney's Office for Rhode Island announced.

Caio Felipe Oliveira Dos Santos, 27, is among more than a dozen Brazilian nationals from Massachusetts, California and Florida charged in this case.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, from January 2019 until April 2021, Dos Santos and others conspired to use stolen identities and falsified documents to open fraudulent driver accounts or rent or sell those accounts to drivers who might not otherwise qualify to drive for rideshare or delivery services.
