Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., announced the guilty plea of HIT SHRESTHA, 44, a Nepalese national, for systematically defrauding other Nepalese nationals of thousands of dollars. The defendant pleaded guilty in New York State Supreme Court to Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree for falsely promising her victims that she would arrange for their family members from Nepal to immigrate to the United States, and for charging her victims large fees for the promised service.

Congratulations to the NY County DA’s Immigrant Affairs Program and its co-director Rosemary Yu for this victory.  ADA Yu is a member of AABANY and its Prosecutors’ Committee, which she co-founded.
