The federal government has begun a criminal investigation into whether Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. has knowingly hired illegal immigrants at its restaurants, a person familiar with the matter said.
The criminal division of the U.S. Attorney office for Washington, D.C., wrote the burrito chain April 13 seeking documents related to hiring, the person familiar with the matter said. The company recently fired 40 employees at two Washington, D.C., restaurants who allegedly submitted false documents related to their eligibility to work in the U.S., this person said.
