text: A Bronx woman facing felony charges after authorities say she got married 10 times in an apparent marriage scam was arrested after court Friday.Authorities say Liana Barrientos, 39, and her niece Tracy Barrientos walked through the gate of a subway station at 149th Street and Grand Concourse and did not pay the fare.They are charged with theft of service and criminal trespass.Liana Barrientos had been arraigned earlier on two counts of filing a false instrument. She pleaded not guilty.Those false instruments were an application for a marriage license and the signed marriage license itself, executed in the spring of 2010, which stated this was her first and only marriage. The groom was a man named Salle Keita, whom she wed March 4, 2010, according to the indictment.Police believe she was marrying men to get them into the country and apparently wed nine times between 1999 and 2002, never bothering to legally change her name.She is believed to be currently married to four people, and at one time, she was married to eight of them at the same time.The case was brought to the attention of the Bronx County District Attorney's Office by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security'sInvestigation Division.They indicated that seven of the men are from so-called "red-flagged" countries, which included Egypt, Turkey, Georgia, Pakistan, and Mali.Authorities say that in 2006, groom number eight Rashid Rajput was deported to his home country of Pakistan following an investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force.Barientos lived in a Bronx building until recently with her boyfriend, a man who is apparently not one of the 10 men she is alleged to have married."This is a huge breach in security," national security expert Manny Gomez said. "If someone could remarry 10 times without bringing it to the attention of the authorities, potentially an al-Qaeda plant could come in, marry this woman and be in this country illegally, plotting, recruiting, perhaps even executing a terrorist attack."Her history as a serial marrier started in November 1999 when she said I do with Mohammed Gerbril in Eastchester. Two years later, she married Ahmad Allam in Rye.Then, just 18 days later, she went to Yonkers to marry Habibur Rahman. In the coming years, she would also get married in Hempstead, Ramapo, Greenburgh, Mamaroneck, White Plains and finally in the Bronx, where the previous nuptials were all discovered.On each marriage license, she used her real Social Security number and various versions of her real name.So how did she not get caught?"From the Liberty Tower being penetrated by a 16-year-old child a few months ago to now, realizing that somebody could come in and legally belong to this country simply by paying somebody and getting legally married, yes, we still have a lot of work cut out for us," Gomez said.The men whom Barientos is alleged to have married, most without benefit of divorce, are identified as:--Mohamed Gebril, of Egypt: Married November 1999, divorced in April of 2002--Ahmed Allam, of Egypt: Married November 2001, divorced November of 2004--Habibur Rahman, of Bangladesh: Married November 2001, currently married--Davit Koridze, of Georgia: Married February 2002, currently married--Duran Goktepe, of Turkey: Married March 2002, divorced in January of 2007--Aliaksandr Paharelau, of Czechoslovakia: Married March 2002, possibly divorced in January of 2005--Vakhtang Dzneladze, of Georgia: Married May 2002), divorced in February of 2007--Rashid Rajput, of Pakistan: Married July 2002), currently married--Kakhaber Khorbaladze, of Georgia: Married August 2002, divorced in August of 2007--Salle Keita, of Mali: Married March 2010, currently marriedSeven of the men filed for permanent status based on marriages to her."When some of them were denied they filed for divorce" and refiled for legal status using other marriages, Assistant District Attorney Jessica Lupo said.In one case, Barrientos acknowledged "receiving money for her actions," the prosecutor said.But she also told Homeland Security that she had never seen nine of the men before, Lupo said.If convicted, she faces up to four years in prison. ||||| The year 2002 was very busy for a young woman named Liana Kristina Barrientos. 
   
   For one thing, she got married — on Long Island, on Valentine’s Day. 
   
   For another, she married again, 15 days later, in Rockland County, to a different man. 
   
   Thirteen days after that, while still married to at least two men, she wed yet another, back on Long Island. 
   
   And then a few weeks later, when the average bride might still be recovering from her honeymoon, Ms. Barrientos was named in a divorce proceeding initiated by a man she married three years before. 
   
   By the time 2002 was done, she would marry three more men, each in a different town in New York State.

   All told, according to state records, she has married 10 men since 1999. 
   
   Friday is also going to be busy for Ms. Barrientos, who is now 39. She will be arraigned on felony fraud charges in State Supreme Court in the Bronx. ||||| A busty Bronx woman went on a decade-long bridal binge — and was married to as many as eight men at once, court papers revealed on Thursday. 
   
   Liana Barrientos turned walking down the aisle into an Olympic sport, getting hitched 10 times since 1999, including one stretch in 2002 when she said “I do” five times. 
   
   The 38-year-old blonde had collected six husbands before the first one filed for divorce in 2002. She added three more before the second one dumped her in 2003. 
   
   Prosecutors haven’t said why Barrientos is so marriage-mad. 
   
   “The motive was definitely not love,” one source said. 
   
   Her most recent nuptials came on March 4, 2010. 
   
   Barrientos is accused of falsifying official records. She allegedly claimed in documents for her 2010 wedding that she had never been married before. 
   
   And she told an investigator from the Bronx District Attorney’s Office that her exchange of vows with a man named Salle Keita “was her first and only marriage,” court papers charge. 
   
   Barrientos also allegedly submitted different variations of her name in marriage papers, omitting or abbreviating her middle name or changing spellings. 
   
   She was busted Oct. 1 on two felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing. She is due back in court Friday. 
   
   Barrientos’ apparent fondness for marriage runs counter to sentiments she expressed on Twitter. 
   
   A Bronx DA spokeswoman declined to say if other charges, such as bigamy, would be filed, or if any of her hubbies would be charged. 
   
   In addition to those men, Barrientos has two baby daddies. One of them, Carlos Garcia, kicked her out of his Bronx apartment a few weeks ago, the building’s super said. 
   
   “She was arrested . . . and he doesn’t want her back,” Ruben George told The Post. “They have a kid together. She has one with him and one with somebody else.” 
   
   Garcia, whose daughter with Barrientos is about 4 months old, didn’t answer a knock on his door. 
   
   Barrientos’ lawyer, Chris Wright, declined to comment.

target: – A New York woman has, according to police, gotten married a few too many times, and she's now facing felony fraud charges. Authorities say Liana Barrientos, reported as being 38 or 39, has gotten married 10 times in 11 years, the New York Daily News reports, with six of those marriages allegedly occurring between February and August of 2002. She's never gotten divorced, according to the Daily News and ABC 7, though others report differently: The New York Post holds that at least one husband filed for divorce and a second "dumped her," placing her number of concurrent marriages at eight; the New York Times reports she's actually divorced from her first two husbands and two others, but that those splits happened "long after marrying 3 through 9." The latest alleged nuptials were in 2010, when Barrientos is said to have married a man named Salle Keita. The changes are in connection with that marriage. "The defendant ... stated in sum and substance that she did marry Mr. Keita and that was her first and only marriage," says the legal complaint. Officials haven't suggested a motive in the case, the Daily News notes, though a source tells the Post that "the motive was definitely not love." While the Post reports that she varied the spelling of her name in different marriages, the Daily News reports that she allegedly used the same Social Security number. A man at one of Barrientos' previous homes tells the Daily News she's now living in a homeless shelter. She faces two counts of filing a false instrument, each of which carries a four-year sentence. She was arrested last fall and will be arraigned today. (It's far from the only unusual crime to grab headlines this week.)
