A Boston-area pizzeria chain owner has been arrested on federal charges that he physically assaulted and verbally abused an immigrant employee for a period of about 14 years, authorities announced Thursday.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins described the allegations against Papantoniadis as"horrific." The Justice Department said he created a climate of fear at his chain of pizzarias, which has locations in Dorchester and Roslindale, Massachusetts. Papantoniadis previously had pizzerias in Norwood, Norwell, Randolph, Weymouth and Wareham.
Papantoniadis threatened to kill the employee or report him to immigration authorities if he didn't return to work, prosecutors said, prompting the victim to continue working for Papantoniadis.
