BOSTON (WWLP) – A former driving instructor was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to bribing a road test examiner to pass people who failed their road test, including some people who didn’t even show up.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, 48-year-old Ngan Dinh of Boston was sentenced to two years in prison with the first six months to be served as home confinement with a GPS monitor. He must also pay a fine of $4,000 and a $5,450 forfeiture. Dinh pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud in March.
Dinh is a naturalized U.S. citizen who speaks Vietnamese and some English. Vietnamese immigrants who didn’t speak English would work with Dinh to help them understand RMV rules and requirements for a license. Instead, Dinh would bribe a road test examiner at the Brockton RMV to pass his customers on the road test after they failed the test. Some customers never showed up to their tests as well.
Customers would pay Dinh up to $1,200 in cash only. Dinh would also persuade the customers to pay him larger amounts by lying to them. In some cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, he would lie to his customers, saying the RMV wasn’t offering road tests due to the virus, but that was false. He claimed he could get them licenses during this time because he was a “certified rep” for the RMV. Dinh paid the employee $100 cash for each customer and kept the rest of the money for himself.
