A sentence was handed down on Wednesday for a Taunton woman charged with bribing a road test examiner.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says that 56-year-old Neta Centio was accused of paying a road test examiner at the Brockton Registry of Motor Vehicles service center to misrepresent that certain driver’s license applicants had passed their road test when they didn’t even show up for the test.
As a result, driver’s licenses were mailed to unqualified applicants.
Over 40 individual bribes were paid to her co-conspirator through the use of CashApp.
The U.S. Attorney says she then told the examiner, “Don’t say nothing about the CashApp. . . . Break the phone,” after the fraud was discovered.
Centio pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud and was sentenced to 15 months in prison, one year of supervised release, a fine of $10,000, and forfeiture of over $19,000.
