A woman charged with identity theft in a scheme involving a missing Russian-language translator has pleaded guilty.
Julia Yakovlev entered the plea Monday in federal court in Brooklyn. Prosecutors had accused her and her husband of using the missing woman’s credit card to buy expensive watches and other items.
The husband has been charged with the murder of the missing woman. He’s also accused of killing a man whose remains were found in New Jersey in 2006.
In 2009, the FBI searched the basement of the couple’s Brooklyn home for the missing woman’s body, but never reported finding anything.
Yakovlev faces a minimum of two years in prison. She is scheduled to be sentenced on May 6.
