A South Florida doctor was sentenced to two years in federal prison, followed by one year of supervised release, for failing to pay nearly $6.4 million in taxes on $18 million worth of income he hid from the IRS.
Dr. Krishan Tripuraneni, 57, was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine to the U.S. government and perform 200 hours of community service at his sentencing hearing Monday in federal court in Miami.
Tripuraneni has until June 26 to surrender and begin serving his prison term. He was facing a maximum of three years behind bars.
