Description
A pair of nationals from Russia and Uzbekistan could face five years in prison for allegedly submitting fraudulent voter registrations in Pinellas County.
Court filings say Dmitry Shushlebin, 45, of Russia, and Sanjar Jamilov, 33, of Uzbekistan, were living in Miami Beach and St. Petersburg respectively when they conspired to submit 132 fraudulent voter registration applications to the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections.
The U.S. Department of Justice says the two men submitted the fraudulent applications in February and March of 2023.
"These applications were submitted in names other than their own, in envelopes with return and address labels that were identically formatted, including containing the same typographical error, and bore various indicia of fraud including, among other things, repeating dates of birth and addresses and nearly sequential social security numbers," DOJ officials said.
Shushlebin and Jamilov are each charged with one count of conspiring to submit fraudulent voter registrations and giving false information in registering to vote. If convicted, they face up to five years in prison.
