The owner of a Boston area pizza chain who forced undocumented victims to work for him in grueling conditions, and under violent physical abuse and threats of deportation, has been sentenced to over eight years in prison. Stavros Papantoniadis, 49, who owns Stash’s Pizza, a chain of pizzerias in Dorchester and Roslindale, severely mistreated six of his employees who were undocumented, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a news release.
He was convicted in a jury trial on three counts of forced labor and three counts of attempted forced labor in June. On Friday, Papantoniadis was sentenced to 102 months in prison, one year of supervised release and to pay a $35,000 fine, officials said. His attorney, Carmine Lepore, told NBC News Tuesday they were 'disappointed in the length of the sentence.
