A vice president of a staffing company was recently sentenced after helping non-citizens obtain work in the United States.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that 51-year-old Sergio Badani of St. Charles, Illinois, was sentenced to two years probation and fined $15,000 after pleading guilty last year to one count of conspiracy to commit harboring for purposes of commercial advantage.
As vice president of a large staffing company, evidence shows Badani used his role to knowingly conceal the true identities of 17 noncitizen workers from the U.S. government. A civil employment audit by HSI of KSO MetalFab Inc, a sheet metal fabrication company in Streamwood, Illinois, previously identified these employees as noncitizens.
