was was on december eighteenth federal indictment this indictment girl includes fifteen plants in nine different states the alleged conspiracy began in shelbyville the investigation one on more people in the company more people and legibly at other plants became of all the illegal immigrants were brought up body identity and delivered to the different plans that request allegedly of the typhoon officials and india there are transcripts of conversations were talking about where to deliver them they would be paid as much as one hundred dollars per person and that there had to be a guarantee that the person that they brought across the border would work for time and for a six to one you're the one year period when the environment for personnel it was no more than fifteen minutes' drive from have an announcement on the internet about this they call the accusations against the coptic completely false and have the charge for quote

limited to a few managers are working out the company policy and fifty seven poultry processing plant well the investigation had sort of a federal investigation started in the middle of them and went all the way until about august of two thousand it was going that far before they got into the investigation or hire a company that agents found themselves in an audit two thousand the company was informed someone informant there were playing it investigated that were undercover agents checking them out and at that point the investigation not long after the investigation ended federal agents arrested on the door and chant oversight two weeks ago he pled guilty to being a middleman to supply tyson foods with illegal immigrants and providing those workers with boss documents tyson foods now says the federal government is engaged in illegal stereotyping and that the charges against it are retribution because the company was unwilling to agree to pay a one hundred million dollars settlement the

attorneys for the former tyson managers in the two executives down leave will be in federal court in chattanooga today for national public radio it's both it's been terrible he's beaming today takata executive in the

corporate writer robert passion with a bucket of the retail crash division and you're like are you also the human resource manager for the vision both of those corporate executive abdullah administrative leave until the investigation is completed the company also for former managers complex measure in the normally quiet the last resort will truly partner within four complex measure jamil spencer my former plant manager in general and with the formal conflict personnel manager at all those it one time or work in shelbyville at the finish you're very good question why people know the continent in the one meat producer in the country but it has recently acquired one of them it would be profiting when the company and they've been growing steadily throughout the nineties obviously they have a lot of the clout in washington you know a lot of communities depend on

until has a twelve hundred workers at that plant would only that but two thousand people in bedford county and the surrounding chicken growers the chicken it's a way to fly workers in the air is that a range of the twenty four million to the tightening a lot of money the lobby fb what are they

their interplay of all illegal aliens a lot of questions about that people if we're out what hasn't been selected to remain early in this very narrow range of a twenty four billion to the tightening the law to michael upbeat absolutely absolutely so even though locals might be a little upset their little maybe even irritated rub a little wrong i seen french commander maybe maybe take jobs or not it is that going on well there you have to admit i have are a little resentment in the background of the people you know they know that the thing that i notice in all the people coming in now one of the things the indictment may when they look out in the trial is the ratio of war happening in the employee who were committed they were there or something dedicated in the environment that they want to replace all the work i have there and replace them all illegal

aliens there's a lot of questions about that report we're actually not sell well after about a year ago their choir leave that there were there were doing something in the environment that they want to replace all the workers they have there ever played them all illegal aliens there's a lot of questions about that people with us as there've been some look at the remaining employees on thai says payrolls for the arab or their legal status well about a year ago eric wiley the the people without the people in question some of the people that were considered illegal or cannot be they accounted for our movement within your work right now about forty six percent of the employees at it what was that number before those then

and now that it alone but according according to think that law enforcement have only about the investigation of the white house head of basically tony tyson they would say the federal government was saddled with them that tyson paid something like a hundred million dollars they're charged with working in the back well whatever the first day of the the actual equity managers are however a couple weeks ago and mr v a question for our oven or he pled guilty in federal court to the charges they haven't brought against them in the conspiracy to a federal prosecutor if he had been in jail almost two years and he had been cooperating with prosecutors quite extensively after that guilty plea constantly change their nation the day after the guilty plea prosecutors of improper racial stereotyping an and they said that they would not settled

the dreaded federal prosecutors admitted they did offer that up a settlement well that is what kind of people have a comment but however they found that that it point to that as a reason that they added four hundred million dollars very well so and so i'm at the grocery store owner i'm armando he was arrested women and two thousand years inequalities related to related events they called it and i'll ever be interesting to note that the us already think and i just was all about the investigation that maybe would have put together their have it very few people who have benefitted the civil war to talk about ahmad or keeping very tight lipped is wide open to the media company are comfortable with the national tennessean and he claiming that the entire thing

as racially motivated to claim that the people in the old know what that is they're loud that he when he would he pleaded guilty he pleaded guilty to two smuggling are arranging transporter for as many as two thousand books well he pleaded guilty and of the interesting thing about the trial on an attorney michael delman says attorney in attorney michael friedman to try to cooperate with prosecutors for months probably by any cotton poly quote i think they're going to bring jobs into the table he also gets quite damaging to tighten that it might encourage them to leave because so we may very well see some potential of interesting comments at the at the hearing that supposed to be thursday for

all and all one other at their probation what are on the eleventh of january from the mike at the program that aleppo from the clinton this tradition and they were shocked frankly like me and our fine to the federal government on the short and the war to you some of them have families and they're confident that all of the present about what happened so quickly want to make sure they didn't know that so susan what a probation ended on the eleventh however un but there's the potential here on forward while before you actually judge judge ricardo on bear on the case and they wanted to improve the judge about and the possible violation of probation so not only wanted to write with kind of iowa with a smuggling

operation but we know it was not all flow of the network though or probation because how do you do scenes what my head into tuesday's a hearing that i think anything could happen but what occurred on john up on john dougherty on the party that it quietly while writing their own i guess you could say there's been at first they were saying they were quite critical of the way the imf and then lay the guilty plea came down they say oh well of racial profile poet now tyson is defending his two executives that said that arnall on leaves well armed they are defending the company however own i'm on a pension that

would be pay the legal fees for the managers were about it very well so tysons made tyson may just be sitting back to sea through quick a cello or shine when he pleaded guilty that really changed everything that he ultimately is facing deportation your deportation of truth is not matter what the marijuana florida become evident that he remarried when he was here and very possible he could latino advocate before you know sort of how the federal courts if all that would leave from their political cooperation but he couldn't all athens and be going back to the area or generally are now even employ people over all in la with thirty five thousand

people that's a big impact to huge impact no no there's a really kind of thing that they are getting paid nine however the indictment charges that at the time three are charged on it well with wrigley for more about the illegal remembers and it alleges that they were checking them professionally conveyor belt also the privileges that they committed them to let him and working conditions are like your bathrobe and alphabet then they let that go but with less likely that alito employers complain about a kind of agreement that may have their way to the capital and that pressure with sort of put on the work vehemently denied equality of them would go

they would tell me about all the benefits you know they've completely replace the atlantic became appetite and now they are getting comparable the usda which shut him down and i head that up the aisle and says sam i gave you the great amount of the accusations that the and the alleged conspiracy would affect matters that either fired or suspended is there anything else you'd like to well hey and a lot of time in the community a lot of people have been leading a good minute when are they going to do something about all the illegal immigrant showing up you're there at that amount of resentment because of the out of the driver's license

a controversy last year that we thought this day people were were i have to say a little resentful of the fact that you have people that are allegedly illegal immigrants yet nothing is known about the border how to two thousand illegal immigrants and yet little of people imagine a question here for years and the bible huge indictment a question and the police officers as i understand it when they would confiscate the use of fake ids would put them in their plastic sleeves like they were collecting and there were there were so many very one by the percolating of an examiner matt light at the atlanta roose well there were there were very good by a wooden rim but they all everyone that they were told they would eat wouldn't pay anything or they would hope they got it from

you now at what point did people really start paying attention or hey maybe something is going on here so nothing more in terms of investigation has been done since that time well they have been doing background check your local on for a year and they have been doing the background interviews firm information that the federal investigators acquired over the years do you want to use well a lot of that had to do the background investigation they also i think very powerful company in this country that there was beef producers in the country and they have a lot of clout and you know my wife and nine malibu ever wonderful evelyn and one month cannot read it alive and i like a thawing out why my love with grey caused by name that had been campaigning think it provided the ideal i didn't hear
