Washington: A court in the US has sentenced an India-American man to 30 months in prison for his role in an illegal immigration scheme, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
Judge William H. Walls of the district court of New Jersey handed down the sentence to Sandipkumar Patel, 42, on Tuesday. The Indian-American has also been "ordered to pay a fine of $50,000, and restitution in the amount of $423,452 to the Internal Revenue Service".
Patel was charged with conspiracy to defraud the US and subscribing to a false federal income tax return.
Migrants paid Patel tens of thousands of dollars for the false certifications. To disguise the scheme, he issued payroll checks and other payroll forms.
He underreported his tax obligation by over $400,000 for eight years.
