A former employee of Wells Fargo bank was indicted by a Grand Jury for negotiating forged treasury checks it was announced yesterday by U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler.

24-year-old Melissa Licelot Duran-Muniz was the only person named in the two-count indictment. The indictment charges that Muniz, on two occasions, April 18th and April 22, 2011, helped others cash or deposit two forged treasury department checks amounting to $6,776 and $7,702.

The indictment against Muniz stemmed from indictments handed down in July of 2011. In those indictments, multiple defendents were charged for conspiracy to defraud the United States after filing false returns and cashing tax refunds that were fraudulently obtained. In those cases, the conspirators used people just like Muniz to further their crimes.

Muniz could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on both counts if convicted.
