GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan -- Three executives of a national janitorial service were sentenced Monday to prison terms and ordered to pay millions of dollars in restitution after defrauding the federal government of employment taxes owed on behalf of hundreds of illegal immigrant workers.
Rosenbaum-Cunningham International Inc. provided cleaning crews to several restaurant chains, including Hard Rock Cafe and House of Blues, and for the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Acme, in Michigan's northwestern Lower Peninsula.
The practice of paying cash wages to workers deprived the government of about $18.6 million in employment taxes, according to the indictment against the three executives.
