2 Polish nationals plead guilty to 'leasing' illegal workers
Two Polish nationals pleaded guilty Wednesday to leasing out illegal immigrants from eastern Europe to work on U.S. farms, dairies and factories, prosecutors said. A third was sentenced to prison a year after pleading guilty to similar federal charges.
Jaroslaw Sawczuk, 39, and Jozef Bronislaw Bogacki, 43, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra to federal charges of fraud and conspiracy to transport, house and otherwise encourage illegal aliens to remain in the United States.
Pavel Preus, 39, pleaded guilty to similar charges in September 2005. Marra sentenced him to 37 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Preus was also ordered to pay $950,000 for unpaid payroll taxes.
