Miami immigration official nabbed for taking bribes.....
MIAMI (Reuters) - Federal agents arrested an immigration supervisor at Miami International Airport Friday on charges of collecting bribes to allow aliens to enter the country illegally,
Fredy Barragan, a supervisory inspector for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) at the airport, was charged with bribery, conspiracy, forging an immigrant permit, inducing an alien to enter the United States unlawfully, and other offenses.
Barragan's wife, Katherine, and his sister-in-law, Monica Andrioli, were also arrested on charges of conspiring to solicit bribes for him and transferring an illegal identification document, said U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis.
If convicted on all the charges, Barragan could face up to 50 years in prison.
John Bulger, acting district director for the INS, said the agency was committed to purging its ranks of employees who break the law.
"We will do everything, and I mean everything, in our power to bring these people to justice. It is a painful process for the rest of our employees who don't break the law, but it is a necessary one," Bulger said.
