        Indian, Brazilian Nationals Sentenced in US for Human Smuggling

   by VOA News

   A federal court in Houston, Texas, has sentenced an Indian citizen and
   a Brazilian national to three years in prison for smuggling illegal
   migrants into the United States.

   Kaushik Thakkar and Fabano Amorim were also given two years of
   supervised release when their prison terms end.

   Prosecutors say the two charged Indian citizens up to $60,000 each and
   conspired to smuggle them into the United States through South and
   Central America and the Caribbean. Many crossed into Texas.

   A third defendant was given a 19-month prison term in February.
