Nine men and four roofing companies in Kansas City have been charged with employing illegal immigrants.

The indictment announced Monday by prosecutors alleges that conspirators smuggled more than a dozen workers from Mexico to work in the roofing industry in KC.

Prosecutors say the scheme had been going on since April of 2001.

Those defendants have also been charged with conspiracy and money laundering.

Forty people in total have been arrested in connection with the scheme, 34 of those because of their illegal immigration status.
