DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- The U.S. Attorney's Office says former Iowa kosher slaughterhouse CEO Sholom Rubashkin has been arrested on a bank fraud charge.
Attorney's office spokesman Bob Teig says Rubashkin was arrested at 8 a.m. Friday at his home in Postville and was being driven to Cedar Rapids for an 11 a.m. hearing in U.S. District Court.
This is the second time in less than a month that Rubashkin has been arrested on federal charges.
The former CEO of the Agriprocessors plant in Postville was arrested Oct. 30 on allegations that he helped illegal immigrants get fake documents.
Agriprocessors was the site of a May 12 immigration raid in which 389 people were arrested.
