Then, at an immigration hearing in February, De Abreu allegedly denied he had ever lied to immigration officials and said that the only reason he had left off important information on immigration documents was because he had not yet been arrested.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts indicted De Abreu on two counts of visa fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of falsifying, concealing and covering up a material fact. 

He was ordered detained pending a hearing June 5.
