"No-show at sentencing hearing, Andover woman faces arrest
A federal court issued a warrant Monday for the arrest of an Andover woman previously found guilty of cheating on her taxes, placing illegal immigrants into dangerous work with asbestos, and arranging for false immigration documents for the workers from her two Methuen-based businesses.
Albania Deleon failed to show up at her sentencing hearing in US District Court in Boston, prompting the court to issue the arrest order....
How could she not show up? Wasn't she in jail?
In mid-November, after a 2 1/2-week trial, Deleon was convicted on 28 charges of employing as many as 800 untrained illegal immigrants in asbestos-removal jobs, providing them bogus identification papers, and evading taxes. Deleon carried out her actions through an asbestos abatement training school named Environmental Compliance Training, which issued false certificates supposedly proving the workers had been schooled in asbestos removal, and a temporary employment agency named Methuen Abatement Staffing, which placed them in jobs.
Deleon, originally from the Dominican Republic and a US citizen for 15 years, was under house arrest in Andover, wearing an electronic bracelet, pending her sentencing hearing. The US attorney's office would not give any further details on Deleon's whereabouts.
WTF? She the LATIN FEMALE VERSION of BERNIE MADOFF?
WHO did SHE KNOW?
