WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal immigration official pleaded guilty Thursday to receiving more than $600,000 in bribes for falsifying documents for illegal immigrants.

Robert Schofield, 57, could face 25 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in February.

He pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, to issuing fraudulent documents to at least 184 illegal immigrants who falsely received U.S. citizenship.

Schofield, a former supervisor for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, was arrested in June.

He had served as a supervisory district adjudications officer at the Washington district office of agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security.

According to court documents, Schofield illegally helped Asian immigrants obtain U.S. citizenship in return for payments of $30,000 or more.

Under terms of the plea agreement Schofield has agreed to surrender his home, his bank accounts and his government retirement account.

"The breadth and scope of Mr. Schofield's fraud and corruption are truly stunning," said U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg.

"Those who compromise the integrity of our national immigration system betray the confidence of the American people, and their actions are shameful."

Prosecutors said Schofield employed a network of brokers to bring aliens to him who were willing to pay for the phony documents.

The government says it has identified a number of these brokers.

One of them, Qiming Ye of Washington, has already pleaded guilty and will be sentenced December 21.

December 1-3, 2006 -- While the Department of Homeland Security has placed the name of every air passenger traveling into and out of the United States on a secret terrorist rating list based on the mining of various types of personal data and is today hyping a phony "Al Qaeda" cyber attack alert directed at stock and commodities exchanges and other financial houses in the United States, the same department, headed by Michael Chertoff, is ignoring a major breakdown in U.S. national security.

On November 27, WMR reported on the case of Israeli Hazki Hen who was arrested for attempting to smuggle as much as $100 million in counterfeit $100 bills from the semi-independent enclave of South Ossetia via middlemen in Georgia and Israel. We can now report that a similar ring connected to the Russian-Israeli Mafia, involving some key participants in the Iran-Contra scandal and illegal U.S. wars in Central America in the 1980s, is traveling into and out of the United States on cleverly forged U.S. passports.

Although the U.S. passport numbers are clearly out of sequence and should be flagged by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, higher-ups at the Homeland Security Department are looking the other way as unsavory characters transit in and out of the United States on the fake passports.

Major destinations for the U.S.-transiting Russian-Israeli Mafia travelers are Mexico, including the troubled states of Oaxaca and Chiapas; Nicaragua; Panama; Venezuela; Guatemala; Honduras; Costa Rica; Colombia; Ecuador; Venezuela; Paraguay; Argentina; Brazil' Chile; and Bolivia.

There is clear evidence that the Russian-Israeli criminals are involved in smuggling drugs and weapons and are engaged in money laundering and bank fraud.

Favored transit airports for the organized crime mobsters and couriers include Houston's George H. W. International Airport and Miami International Airport.

This is odd actually.. the ex-father-in-law of a friend of mine was involved with Pepe Escobar..and he was murdered after being caught for money laundering and I was looking online once to see if I could find news re this old story.. well long story short I found some info from the FBI in a PDF re the Colombian drug lord and within that document there was the name of an Israeli a military person if I remember correctly.. who was involved with the Escobar drug cartel. I found it odd at the time...
