(Portland, OR) -- A man who was part of a ring to steal SNAP debit card information has been sentenced to federal prison. Giovanni Spirea, who's Italian and was illegally in the U.S., placed credit card skimming devices in stores and stole information from SNAP debit cards. He and other people in the operation used the data to buy more than 120-thousand pounds of goods in Oregon and Washington. They moved it to California in private vehicles and sold it for nearly two-and-a-half-million-dollars. Spirea was sentenced to two years in federal prison.
