New York, Feb 20 : An Indian-origin pharmaceutical executive has been sentenced by a federal judge in Texas to 41 months in prison for fraudulently selling workout supplements, according to officials.
Acting North Texas Federal Prosecutor Prerak Shah announced on Friday the sentencing of Sitesh Patel, 37, on a conspiracy charge relating to the misbranding of the supplements.
Patel and several of his co-defendants had admitted before the Texas Northern District Court in Dallas that they imported substances with false and misleading labelling of products, according to the Justice Department.
