FIRMS PLEAD GUILTY IN IMMIGRANT CASE (WALL-MART CASE)

Firms plead guilty in immigrant case

The attorney for 12 Missouri-based firms that provided janitorial services to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. using illegal immigrants entered guilty pleas on behalf of the firms yesterday in U.S. Middle District Court at Harrisburg.
Under a corporate plea agreement, the cleaning companies will pay $4 million.
Attorney Jeffrey Demereth entered the pleas before Judge Yvette Kane on behalf of IMC Associates and 11 related companies to conspiracy to transport and encourage illegal aliens to reside in the United States. Christopher S. Walters is the sole shareholder in all of the companies.
The cleaning companies agreed to forfeit $4 million as part of a larger deal with Wal-Mart, which already has agreed to forfeit $11 million. The settlement also requires Wal-Mart to better monitor contractors for compliance with immigration laws.
Wal-Mart became the target of a criminal investigation by a federal grand jury in Williamsport after the 1998 arrest of an illegal immigrant from Russia who worked for one of the firms. The probe included surveillance of Wal-Mart stores in the Harrisburg, Lebanon, York and Chambersburg areas and eventually involved stores in 21 states.
The agreement was announced last month.
