SACRAMENTO MAN SENTENCED FOR TRAFFICKING IN COUNTERFEIT GOODS IN FRESNO

FRESNO - Acting United States Attorney Lawrence G. Brown announced today that Senior United States District Judge Oliver W. Wanger sentenced CHAUDRY ALI, also known as Shan Ahmed, 44, of Sacramento, for his conviction for one count of trafficking in counterfeit goods. The sentence includes a term of imprisonment of 12 months, forfeiture of all goods involved in the offense, and restitution of $5,000.

The case was investigated by the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office and the Fresno Office of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to Assistant United States Attorney David Gappa, who prosecuted the case, ALI admitted that from September 2007 through April 2008, in Fresno, California he knowingly purchased and sold purses, wallets, and shoes with spurious trademarks belonging to Coach, Chanel, Nike, Gucci, Christian Dior, Dooney & Bourke and other companies.

ALI is an alien who will be subject to removal from the United States upon completion of his sentence. The defendant will also be required to serve a separate nine month sentence for a probation violation resulting from an earlier fraud conviction in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, for which he had failed to surrender himself. He has been detained as a flight risk since his initial appearance in federal court in Fresno on January 23, 2009.
