Julie’s Cafe owner faces prison time, $250K fine

Deal made in case of undocumented restaurant workers

The Julie’s Cafe & Catering chain in Green Bay and De Pere and one of its owners will plead guilty in U.S. District Court to harboring and hiring undocumented workers.

The restaurant is accused of hiring undocumented workers from 1998 until about June 15, 2004.

Stephen Metzler, who owns the restaurants with his wife, Julie, is accused of harboring the workers.

Metzler signed a plea agreement in the case. He could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, and the restaurant could be fined up to $3,000 per employed alien, or as much as $72,000.

In addition, Metzler will have to pay back individuals whose identities were used by undocumented workers in the case.

Prosecutors will identify the victims and he must pay for any tax burdens they may have incurred as a result of the theft of their identities.

Metzler of New Franken was arrested June 15 after Green Bay police and federal authorities raided three locations â€â€

This is go great that I am virtually speechless.

Now we need some more.

Good! they should also have to post a sign saying there are guilty of hiring illegas.

Why were the illegals released?

From 1998 to 2004 they were paid "under the table", that's probably

what the government was ticked off about.

Being illegal probably had nothing to do with it.

This is annoying to me only because the little guy STILL GETS THE BURDEN

and

THE BIG GUYS SKATE!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmmm --- Restaurant VS GALLO
