Two Sentenced for Food Stamp Fraud

Federal prosecutors say two Rochester men have been sentenced for Food Stamp fraud.

Hicham Khallad was sentenced to 45 days in prison followed by three years of supervised release, and Karim Euchi received a sentence of two years' probation. They were ordered to jointly pay more than $74,000 in restitution to the federal government.
