An Indian national who was studying in Canada on a student visa has been sentenced to four years in a U.S. federal prison for his role in a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme that targeted elderly Americans.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin announced that 22-year-old Roshan Shah was sentenced to 48 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit money laundering, according to CTV News.

U.S. prosecutors say Shah was an Indian citizen attending college in Canada on a student visa before travelling to the United States on a visitor visa to collect money from victims of an elaborate telephone scam.
