AGRIPROCESSORS MANAGER ADMITS DOCUMENT FRAUD
From the Des Moines Register:
A top manager at Agriprocessors Inc. pleaded guilty Monday to a document-fraud conspiracy charge for helping illegal immigrants at the plant secure fake work papers.
Brent Beebe, 52, of Postville admitted that he played a role in the massive immigrant-harboring scheme at the eastern Iowa kosher meat plant. Prosecutors accused the former beef-kill supervisor of securing a $4,500 loan from then-vice president Sholom Rubashkin, which was used to help 19 illegal workers obtain fraudulent work documents.
The fake documents were delivered to the plant on May 11, 2008, one day before federal agents raided the slaughterhouse and detained 389 immigrant workers.
Beebe will remain free on bond before his sentencing in Cedar Rapids, prosecutors said in a news release. A sentencing date is not set.
Beebe faces a maximum five-year prison sentence, a $250,000 fine, a $100 special court assessment and three years of probation.
