Operator of Florida Labor Staffing Companies Sentenced to Prison

Petr Sutka, the operator of several Key West, Fla., labor staffing companies, was sentenced to four years in prison for tax and immigration-related crimes, the Justice Department said Monday.

The companies allegedly didn’t withhold federal income, Social Security, or Medicare taxes from workers’ wages and didn’t report the wages to the IRS, the government said.

Sutka was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release and to pay more than $3.55 million in restitution to the US by US District Court Judge Jose E. Martinez for the Southern District of Florida, the DOJ said.
