Hosam Amara, one of two former Agriprocessors supervisors who fled to Israel as indictments against them were being drafted by the US Attorney has finally been extradited to the US after years of delay, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.
Amara is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids today.
Amara was indicted on charges one count of conspiracy to harbor undocumented aliens for profit, 24 counts of harboring and aiding the harboring of undocumented aliens for profit, one count of conspiracy to commit document fraud and one count of aiding document fraud.
Zeev Levi, the other Agriprocessors manager who fled the country, allegedly to Israel, remains at large.
Amara also allegedly ran a scheme to buy broken down used vehicles from a Cedar Rapids dealership and sell them to undocumented workers as a precondition for those workers getting jobs at Agriprocessors. The cars and trucks were sold at highly inflated prices.
Amara faces as much as 10 years in prison on each of the conspiracy to harbor and harboring counts, as much as 5 years on the conspiracy to commit document fraud count, and as much as 10 years on the document fraud charge.
