Immigration Bond, Federal Immigration Bail Bonds, Delivery Bond, Voluntary Departure Bond

LOS ANGELES—A federal grand jury has indicted a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney and his wife with more than 70 new counts stemming from a scheme to adjust the immigration status of immigrants.

ICE Assistant Chief Counsel Constantine Kallas, 38, and wife Maria Kallas, 39, both of Alta Loma, have pleaded not guilty to 75 counts, including conspiracy, acceptance of a bribe by a public official and money laundering.

Maria Kallas has been released on $200,000 bond, while her husband remains in custody. If convicted, they each face up to life in prison. Trial is slated to begin in March.

The couple were arrested in June at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino, where they were allegedly accepting a bribe. The 75-count indictment was announced Monday.

The indictment said the couple used a pair of companies they had set up to file false employment petitions with federal authorities for dozens of illegal immigrants and some legal permanent residents in exchange for immigration benefits.

About $950,000 beyond Constantine Kallas'' salary had been deposited in the pair''s bank accounts since 2000, federal officials said Monday.

Attorney Diane Bass, who represents Maria Kallas, said her client is innocent. An e-mail message left for attorney Kenneth Miller, who represents Constantine Kallas, was not immediately returned Monday.

Kallas has worked for ICE since 1998 but had been on unpaid leave since January 2007.
