Several Louisiana officers are arrested and accused in a bribery scheme to help foreign nationals get visas
A federal grand jury has returned a 61-count indictment charging five people – including current and former police chiefs and a Subway restaurant operator – on charges including bribery, mail fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and immigration fraud, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday. The defendants fraudulently obtained or helped obtain non-immigrant U visas, which allow foreign nationals without any official status in the US to stay in the country in certain circumstances when they're victims of or witnesses to crimes, Acting US Attorney Alexander Van Hook of the Western District of Louisiana said. The Subway operator allegedly paid $5,000 to the officers to fraudulently claim certain foreign nationals were victims of armed robberies that never occurred, Van Hook said. This is a developing story and will be updated.
