Ravi Kapadia, who most recently lived in New Jersey, pleaded guilty last year in U.S. District Court in Chicago to a charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States and bring in jewelry from other nations by using false documents.
Last month, a judge in Chicago sentenced Kapadia to ten months in federal prison, and to pay restitution to the United States.
Kapadia was found guilty of evading more than $1.8 million in U.S. Customs duties.
