Eleven people have been arrested on charges they used fake immigration documents and lied about their pasts to get security clearances at Sikorsky Aircraft.
Those arrested included eight illegal aliens who were accused of using false Social Security numbers and forged alien registration cards to get jobs with Sikorsky subcontractors, U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor said.
The jobs came with security badges that allowed the workers access to classified and sensitive areas of Sikorsky, which manufactures helicopters for the U.S. military. None of the suspects was charged with stealing classified materials or being involved in terrorist activities, federal authorities said.
