GREENBELT, Maryland -- Last week, federal agents stormed the El Pollo Rico restaurant in Wheaton.

The owners faced federal charges of harboring illegal immigrants and money laundering, but Monday night they were out on bond.

Francisco Solano and his wife Ines Solano were released on $500,000 bond each. They each face five criminal charges and could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison on each of those charges. They may also incur hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

Federal agents seized $3 million from their property last week and closed their restaurant.
