U. S. District Judge Charlene Edwards Hon- eywell sentenced Yoel Graveran-Palacios, 37, of Tampa, to 9 years in prison for conspiracy, credit card fraud, and identity theft. His twin brother, Noel Grav- eran-Palacious, is sched- uled to be sentenced on September 19, 2018.

eran-Palacios worked to- gether, and with others, to place skimmers on gas pumps in the Tampa Bay area. Using the account numbers stolen from the skimmers, they made coun- terfeit credit cards and then used them to purchase mer- chandise including gas, toys, clothes, and gift cards, at area retailers.

Trial evidence included hundreds of recovered stolen account numbers, as well as dozens of store surveillance videos featuring the conspir- ators using the counterfeit credit cards.
