Federal authorities say poultry processor Koch Foods Inc. has paid more than $536,000 in fines stemming from  a 2007 immigration raid in southwest Ohio. 
     
Authorities say they rounded up 161 workers who were in this  country illegally at the Koch plant in Fairfield, 13 miles north of  Cincinnati.
     
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Friday the fines have to do with filling out and verifying employment forms, and that Park Ridge, Ill.-based Koch has taken steps to avoid future violations.
     
An attorney for company has said there was no evidence that  anyone at Koch knowingly broke the law.
