Plainsboro man gets two years in immigration fraud scheme
A Plainsboro resident who helped dozens of illegal aliens commit immigration fraud in exchange for thousands of dollars has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Under the terms of his sentence Syed Zaidi, 54, will also be subject to three years of supervised release for his part in the fraud conspiracy.
Zaidi previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to submit fraudulent documents to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and inducing an illegal alien to remain in the United States.
He entered his guilty plea before United States District Judge William J. Martini, who also imposed the sentence last week in Newark federal court.
In sentencing Zaidi, Martini took into account that while out on bail, Zaidi contacted and attempted to influence the testimony of at least two government witnesses, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office
