LINCOLN - The alleged co-conspirator in the O'Neill harboring case has been sentenced.

United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced Alma Hernandez-Moreno is sentenced to two years in federal prison for her role in a conspiracy with Juan Pablo Sanchez-Delgado to harbor illegal aliens.

After her release from prison, she will begin two years of supervised release.

Hernandez-Moreno’s role in the conspiracy was a bookkeeper.

Authorities say she handled payroll checks and answered financial questions for Sanchez-Delgado’s workforce.

She advised one of the workers not to file a tax return seeking a refund as doing so would require the issuance of another social security number to continue working.

Sanchez-Delgado was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison.
