Indian national sentenced on immigration fraud charges; ordered to forfeit over $5.7 million and luxury cars
NEWARK - An Indian national was sentenced today to 20 months in federal prison for immigration fraud for fraudulently assisting hundreds of immigrant aliens to live and work illegally in New Jersey and elsewhere in the United States, U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie announced.
U.S. District Court Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise also ordered Narendra Mandalapa a/k/a "Ramesh Dashrth,” Mandalapa, 36, to forfeit more than $5.7 million and two late model luxury cars which represented proceeds of his crimes. Judge Debevoise fined Mandalapa $25,000.
Mandalapa was the owner and president of Cybersoftec, Inc., a business consulting company that was based in Edison during 2004 and 2005. Mandalapa was arrested on Nov. 3, 2005 on a criminal Complaint and has been in custody since then.
“This sentence proves that America's immigration system is not something criminals like Mandalapa can exploit for profit without significant consequences,” said Thomas E. Manifase, deputy special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Newark office. "Benefit, identity and document fraud pose a clear national security concern that we take very seriously.”

"Now They Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror
By Nonie Darwish
Sentinel, $23.95, 258 pp."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Nonie Darwish grew up in a culture in which anti-Semitism was the order of the day by government edict and social and religious custom. Every problem her large Middle Eastern country had was blamed on tiny Israel. Government schools taught that martyrdom in jihad against the Jews was the pinnacle of personal glory. If someone talked about current events or predictions of the future, “In Shallah” was as required a response as “Heil Hitler” was in another time and place.
Men practiced polygamy while exercising total control over their wives and daughters — in fact, male strangers had the right to be cultural enforcers of women’s actions. Women could be killed for “improper” actions, or shunned over a stray word or rumor.
So in what stifling environment was Darwish raised? Afghanistan under the Taliban? Ayatollah-ruled Iran? No, perhaps the most sobering fact of Now They Call Me Infidel, Darwish’s compelling memoir, is that she grew up in Egypt -- a country considered the harbinger of the new, progressive, secular Arab state.
Her autobiographical account is one of the bravest books I have ever read."
