Largest settlement ever in hiring illegal aliens case. 21 Million
They didn't give an exact figure but said it was nearly 21 million so I'll go with that.
Scumbags
The government's settlement with IFCO is the largest ever with a corporation charged with employing illegal immigrants, almost doubling the $11 million Wal-Mart agreed to pay in 2005 to settle allegations it used hundreds of illegal immigrants to clean its stores, said John Torres, acting Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
If IFCO meets all the terms and conditions by 2012, the government has agreed not to pursue criminal charges against the company related to the conduct of its employees before April 2006.

The settlement doesn't close the case, however. Nine IFCO managers have already pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor criminal charges related to transporting and employing illegal immigrants. Four more still face felony charges and might stand trial, prosecutors said.
