SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 26 – Shiekh Miah Mahatab
was charged with arranging for
fraudulent tax refund checks
from the U.S. Treasury. He
fled to his native Bangladesh.
Then he returned.
On January 26, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl held a
sentencing. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
defense emphasized the
voluntary return from
Bangladesh. The defendant
himself quoted God and
expressed remorse.
He has already
been in custody for six
months, and will pay back over
$100,000. The AUSA chose to
say nothing.
Judge
Koeltl imposed a sentence of
10 months, that is to so, four
more months in jail.
The case is USA
v. Roy et al., 16-cr-847
