麻州 Revere 66岁女子被联邦起诉：被指以恋爱与巴西农场继承为名骗走85岁老人逾100万美元
美国司法部麻萨诸塞区联邦检察官办公室宣布，麻萨诸塞州 Revere 居民 Maria Auxiliadora Rezende（66岁）已被联邦大陪审团以一项电信欺诈罪起诉，被指在一宗恋爱与投资诈骗中骗取一名麻州受害人超过100万美元。Rezende 已于11月10日被捕并被以刑事诉状起诉。
据起诉文件，Rezende 被指与一名85岁、有健康与记忆问题的麻州受害人建立恋爱关系，并欺骗对方相信：她将继承巴西一处农场，只要受害人帮她支付一笔所谓的巴西遗产税与相关律师费，受害人就能从这处农场获利。检方称，事实上这处农场、遗产税、律师与法律费用都不存在。受害人因此向 Rezende 及其同伙汇出了超过100万美元。
电信欺诈罪的法定刑为最高20年监禁、3年监督释放与25万美元罚款，最终量刑由联邦地区法院法官参照量刑指南等因素决定。

Revere Woman Indicted in Alleged Romance and Investment Fraud That Cost 85-Year-Old Victim Over $1 Million
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts announced that Maria Auxiliadora Rezende, 66, of Revere, Massachusetts, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on one count of wire fraud in connection with an alleged romance and investment fraud scheme. Rezende was arrested and charged by criminal complaint on November 10, 2026.
According to the charging documents, Rezende allegedly entered a romantic relationship with an 85-year-old Massachusetts victim who has health and memory issues. Prosecutors allege she led the victim to believe she stood to inherit farmland in Brazil and that he could profit from the farmland if he helped her pay a purported Brazilian inheritance tax and associated legal fees. In fact, the farmland, the inheritance tax, the lawyers and the legal fees did not exist, prosecutors said. The victim sent Rezende and her associates more than $1 million as a result of the alleged fraud.
The wire fraud charge carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. The case was announced by U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley and Thomas Demeo of IRS Criminal Investigation in Boston, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations in New England and the U.S. Secret Service in Boston. An indictment is an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts)
