RENO " Two executives and the corporate owner of 11 northern Nevada McDonald's restaurants pleaded guilty to felony immigration charges and agreed to pay $1 million in fines.
Nevada U.S. attorney Gregory Brower says Mack Associates Inc. pleaded guilty Wednesday as a corporation to two felony charges including conspiracy and aiding and abetting.
The case stems from the arrests last September of 56 people in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids at restaurants in Reno, Sparks and Fernley, and at franchise offices in Reno.
Company directors Joe Gillespie of Sparks and former vice president Jimmy Moore pleaded guilty in federal court in Las Vegas to one charge each.
Authorities accused the company of employing illegal immigrants by giving them names and Social Security numbers belonging to others.
