An illegal immigrant was sentenced to 14 months in prison in US District Court in Worcester Wednesday as a result of his involvement in a conspiracy to produce false identification documents, according to the office of US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz. Leonardo Burgos Espinal, 42, most recently of Springfield, was turned over to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for deportation. In March 2013, he was charged with bribing a state Registry of Motor Vehicles employee, Ortiz’s office said. Between January 2011 and June 2012, Burgos allegedly advised individuals to present stolen Puerto Rican identification documents to his coconspirator at the Registry, who would issue driver’s licenses and other forms of identification.
