A former Valley restaurateur recently was convicted in an identity fraud scheme.

Judge James V. Selna of the Central District of California Court found Reha Soylular guilty and sentenced him on Nov. 30 for using unauthorized access to obtain money, a felony offense, according to court records.

According to court documents, between 2002 and 2004 Soylular gained more than $1,000 by using other individuals’ personal information, including names and Social Security information, to establish merchant teller accounts without permission in Orange County, Calif.
