New Orleans Deepak Jack Jagtiani, a resident of Metairie, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Jay C. Zainey to 63 months in prison for embezzling over $7 million from his employer and for defrauding the government of over $1 million in income taxes. Jagtiani previously pleaded guilty to both counts of the indictment, which charged him with wire fraud and making false statements on a federal income tax return.
According to the court documents, from 2007 to 2019, Jagtiani served as the comptroller of Dan-Gulf Shipping, Inc., a Metairie-based freight forwarding company. In that capacity, Jagtiani had the authority to manage the payroll and other accounts for Dan-Gulf. Jagtiani admitted that he used his authority to pay himself excessive salaries and benefits from 2009 through early 2019. In total, Jagtiani defrauded Dan-Gulf and its business partner of over $7,000,000.00.
