Members of the Rubashkin family, who operated the now-defunct Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant, must pay more than $2 million after defaulting on loans.
A federal judge Dec. 16 ordered that Abraham Aaron Rubashkin and sons Sholom and Tzvi must pay the money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Value Recovery Group. The latter was owed more than $1.6 million in unpaid rent, according to court records. The judgment also includes interest and legal fees.
Agriprocessors CEO Sholom Rubashkin was sentenced last June to 27 years in federal prison after being convicted in November 2009 on 86 counts of fraud in connection with the Agriprocessors plant. — jta
