According an arrest report, the FBI began investigating the Florida woman in January of 2021 after learning of a scheme in which she was believed to be selling false COVID-19 lab test results.
The results were to be presented by people traveling abroad and entering other countries so the purchaser could avoid taking a real test, the report said.
Two undercover FBI employees purchased the test results from Barbery, one for $40 and the other for $30, the report said. The fake lab test results had the name Nomi Health Lab Services and the Miami-Dade County seal, the report said.But an official at Nomi Health said Barbery didn't work for them and that the test results were fraudulent, the report said.
Barbery was tracked down in Broward County after the FBI's financial crimes unit issued a warrant for her arrest. She was booked into the Miami-Dade jail Tuesday, records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.
