The senior half of a Pennsylvania father-son duo pleaded guilty Monday to federal bank fraud and identity theft charges in connection with the pair's multi-state identity theft scheme ended with their 2017 arrests in Fairfield.
Anthony C. Innarella, Sr., 63, pleaded guilty in a U.S. District Court video conference before Judge Victor A. Bolden, federal prosecutors said. He remains detained and his sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
Investigators discovered Innarella and his son — now 35-year-old Anthony A. Innarella, Jr. — ran a scheme to use other people’s names to create bank accounts for phony businesses they could transfer money into, prosecutors said.
