The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration 8..-r1d Cust..oms
Enforcement (ICE) 'Document Benefit Fraud Task Force'. The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
fuU-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the resUlts of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seimre.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
infonnation that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check:, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay~ and tells the undorumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the ittegal activity.

green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) 'Document Benefit Fraud Task Force' . The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (fFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County P01ice Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
information that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was J)eTformed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration l!nd Customs
Enfurcement (iCE) <Document Benefit Fraud Task: Force'. The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resuhing
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
infonnation that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these worlrers by clteck, deducts 113 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner ofthe Annapolis Painting Selvices, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undorumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include rea! estate. vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) ~Document Benefit Fraud Task Force', The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
information that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 113 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undorumeoted
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Selvioes, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) 'Document Benefit Fraud Task Force'. The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
information that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Tmmigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) 'Document Benefit Fraud Task Force' . The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
information that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was perfonned.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.
