Houston: A 45-year-old Indian-American has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for defrauding a bank and stealing more than USD 484,000 from his employer.
Andhavarapu, who was living in Conroe in Texas, was sentenced to 20 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release for stealing more than USD 484,000 from Weatherford and its subsidiary EProduction Solutions.
The FBI conducted the investigation.
US District Judge Keith P Ellison, who accepted the guilty plea, said Andhavarapu abused a position of trust as a financial controller which facilitated his commission of the crime.
Andhavarapu then stole refund cheques made out to and belonging to his employer and deposited them in the accounts he had created.
As part of his plea, Andhavarapu admitted he stole a total of USD 484,873.
