Government attorney in L.A. is convicted of taking bribes from illegal immigrants
Constantine Kallas, assistant chief counsel with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, accepted bribes of as much as $20,000 in exchange for helping get benefits for illegal immigrants.
Kallas faces a maximum sentence of 256 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in August,
In a search at Kallas’ Alta Loma home, agents found a hidden floor safe with more than $177,000 in cash and 24 official immigration files, prosecutors said. Agents also found a ledger with the names of more than 60 immigrants and how much they had paid. Bank accounts showed that on top of Kallas’ salary, nearly $1 million had been deposited in the couple’s accounts since 2000, Aghaian said.
