A Montebello woman accused of running a fraudulent immigration services business from her home denied 48 felony charges filed against her after prosecutors said she bilked more than two dozen victims out of more than $223,000, officials said Friday.
The woman was convicted of providing bogus immigration services in a similar, but much larger, scam in 2009.
Romina Aida Zadorian, 48, entered her not guilty Friday afternoon in Los Angeles County Superior Court in connection with the massive fraud case, L.A. County District Attorney’s officials said. She was ordered back to court for a preliminary hearing setting on Nov. 15.
Shiara Davila-Morales, a district attorney’s office spokeswoman, said in a written statement that was accused of “of falsely promising to expedite the processing of visas, resident alien cards and citizenship petitions,” for the alleged victims of the fraud scheme and their families.
“Zadorian told victims she worked for the government and had special government connections,” Davila-Morales said in the statement. “She also allegedly told some of the victims she was an attorney.”

How was this allowed to happen again? How much time did she actually serve the first time?
