Man Sentenced To Prison Running Fake ID Ring

Manuel Leija Sanchez Sentenced To One Year

CHICAGO (CBS) ― The man the 2 Investigators exposed as running a multi-million dollar phony document ring here in Chicago was sentenced to a year in prison Monday.

Manuel Leija Sanchez pled guilty to possession of a fake ID like the ones the CBS 2 Investigators purchased in an undercover sting.

Pam Zekman reported on the brazen sales operations at a 26th Street shopping center in the Little Village area.

A spokesman for the state's attorney's office says that after Sanchez serves his sentence, he will be held for deportation.

Meanwhile, as Pam reported, others have taken his place in the phony I.D. ring.
