Four state Registry of Motor Vehicle clerks and two other people have been charged with conspiring to help illegal immigrants get false identifications — some of which were used to register to vote in Boston — in a blockbuster bust that state officials call “troubling and intolerable.”

Prosecutors say Flako on one occasion sold a Puerto Rican birth certificate and U.S. Social Security card to Brea for roughly $900. Brea turned around and sold the stolen identities for thousands of dollars, according to authorities.

Brea would use the counterfeit documents and false identities and addresses to fraudulently register her clients to vote in Boston, prosecutors say. Then, Brea and the client would bring the identification to the Haymarket RMV, where either Medina, Gracia, Jordan or Brimage would ­accept cash to issue authentic RMV documents, including Massachusetts licenses and ID cards, authorities allege.
