According to the 15-count indictment unsealed yesterday, Elizalda arranged specific times with co-defendant Raquel Arin and others to allow vehicles to pass through his primary inspection lane for the purpose of alien smuggling.

Elizalda was arrested Thursday in a raid on his home in Chula Vista, where agents seized $36,500 in cash and a 2000 Lexus and 2005 BMW given to him as gifts by smugglers, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said that Gilliland, a former Marine, worked with two female accomplices in San Diego to coordinate smuggling operations and deliberately failed to record vehicles that ferried immigrants through border lanes under his supervision.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Tokarz described Gilliland as a "corrupt inspector."

Investigators found more than $500,000 cash in raids of Gilliland's house and those of two alleged accomplices, Tokarz said. In addition, $18,000 worth of Iraqi dinars were found in Gilliland's home.

Defense attorney Kerry Bader said that $24,000 found in Gilliland's home had come from a refinancing deal. She told the court that Gilliland's son, an active-duty Marine, has served two tours of duty in Iraq, but said she did not know where the dinars had come from.

Six co-defendants, Raquel Arin, Perla Centella, Carmen Alvarado, Sandra Munoz, Kenneth Web and Victor Gomez also pleaded not guilty to the conspiracy count. Eighth defendant Jorge Gomez is scheduled to be arraigned later
