 Two former workers for indicted agency once accused of terrorism
Associated Press
CLEVELAND - A
temporary employment agency indicted on federal immigration charges
once hired two men who were arrested six days after the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks, accused of being part of a terror cell, The Plain
Dealer reported Friday.
Ahmed Hannan and Karim Koubriti, former workers at HV Connect, were
arrested with false identification papers in Detroit and accused of
forming the cell with two others.
Their former employer has been charged along with another employment
agency and nine of the companies' employees with providing illegal
immigrants with false do*****entation to businesses seeking temporary
workers. The alleged
scam stole $5.3 million in fees from those businesses, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court.
Through HV Connect, Hannan and Koubriti worked briefly at Case Foods
Inc., which operates the Case Farms chicken slaughterhouse near
Winesburg in eastern Ohio.
Koubriti was convicted in 2003 of conspiracy to aid terrorists, and
both men were convicted of do*****ent fraud. The convictions were thrown
out and the charges dismissed in 2004 at the Justice Department's
request, after the agency discovered some do*****ents that could have
aided the defense were not turned over by the government. The former
lead prosecutor is under investigation.
According to the indictment, HV Connect and TN Job Service would
place workers they said had U.S. work authorization and promise to pay
payroll taxes and workers' compensation premiums from fees paid by the
employers.
The government accuses the agency workers of using the money instead
to build a home, buy jewelry and liquor, and spend money at casinos.
The undo*****ented workers were paid in cash.
The government said HV Connect has operated in Philadelphia and
Canton, Ohio, and TN Job Service operated in Philadelphia; Pennsauken,
N.J.; and Canton and New Philadelphia in eastern Ohio.
