The following news is from the FoodManufacturing.com on May 6, 2013.
Hosam Amara, a former manager at Agriprocessors appeared in a U.S. courtroom Friday to face charges that he conspired to exploit immigrant workers for profit after being extradited from Israel where he had fled to with his family shortly after federal agents raided Agriprocessors in May 2008. "In addition to Amara, the indictment charged Rubashkin and former plant managers Brent Beebe and Zeev Levi with taking part in the conspiracy. Prosecutors say that Levi has also apparently fled to Israel and remains a fugitive. Beebe reached a plea agreement in 2010 in which he pleaded guilty to a document fraud charge and was sentenced to 10 months in prison. Rubashkin was convicted in 2009 on separate financial fraud charges and sentenced to 27 years in prison. After his conviction in that case, prosecutors dropped the immigration charges against him rather than go through with a second trial."
