Restaurateurs get prison time for illegal hirings

Two brothers who ran three Mexican restaurants in Maine have been sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty in June to hiring undocumented workers.

The Bangor Daily News reported that a U.S. District Court judge on Monday sentenced Guillermo Fuentes, 38, of Westbrook, to 37 months in prison with two years of supervised release and sentenced Hector Fuentes, 41, of Waterville, to 30 months in prison with one year of supervised release.

The two brothers, who are legal U.S. citizens, own the Fajita Grill Mexican Restaurant in Westbrook, the Cancun Mexican Restaurant in Waterville and the Cancun Mexican Restaurant II in Biddeford. They pleaded guilty in June to charges of hiring more than 10 undocumented workers and making false statements.
