Prosecutors say 50-year-old Elizabeth 'Mina' Larijani illegally posed as a dental hygienist for years.
The district attorney’s office said Elizabeth "Mina" Larijani faced felony charges, accused of both working at and attempting to work at more than 10 dental offices from 2015 to 2020. Investigators believed she fraudulently worked as a dental hygienist in offices in San Jose and Campbell.
Investigators located Larijani, who also went by the name Elizabeth Garcia Costilla, in Glendale, Arizona. They said she was working as a dental hygienist there, but it's unclear if she had secured her job in Arizona legally. Larijani was extradited to San Jose for her arraignment on Friday, when a judge set bail at $40,000. She was released from custody on Monday after posting bail.
