Associated Press - October 22, 2008 5:15 PM ET

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Federal prosecutors say two workers at a Greenville poultry plant have been sentenced to two years in prison for providing false information on employment documents.

Prosecutors say 32-year-old Juan Francisco Martinez-Olivares and 34-year-old Guadalupe Neri-Templos pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft.

Authorities say two fellow workers at the House of Raeford Columbia Farms plant also pleaded guilty Wednesday to using false Social Security numbers when they applied for work.

Prosecutors say 28-year-old Nain Zarate-Camarero and 20-year-old Victor Cruz-Soto face up to five years in prison.

The workers were taken into custody before a raid at the plant this month that led to the arrest of around 300 suspected illegal immigrants.
