Authorities: Tax fraud suspect accused of stealing more than $800,000 on the run

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Authorities are searching for a 29-year-old woman, who along with an accomplice, is accused of using other people's identities to steal more than $800,000 in tax refunds.

Thalia Diaz Camareno and 32-year-old ANtolin Julio Nazario are charged in a 10-count indictment including conspiracy to commit mail fraud, mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson. Nazario appeared in federal court for his detention hearing Thursday but Camareno is still a fugitive.

According to the indictment, Nazario and Camareno filed hundreds of fraudulent tax returns between June 2010 and January 2012. The duo allegedly used more than 800 stolen names and Social Security numbers to file tax returns and receive more than $807,096 in refunds.

If convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud or any of the six substantive mail fraud charges, each faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine. Aggravated identify theft carries a mandatory two-year sentence which must be served consecutively to any other prison term imposed.

Nazario is being held until further criminal proceedings while the search for Camareno continues.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) at 281-330-5377.
