West Midlands director sentenced for breaching a 13‑year ban
Bharat Jogia, 71, of Aldridge Road, Streetly, West Midlands, was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court to nine months in prison, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work. He was also disqualified as a company director for 10 years. Jogia had been disqualified in 2014 for not disputing his role in a scheme that caused Jogia Jewellers (UK) Limited to claim more than £2 million from HM Revenue & Customs. Despite the ban, he continued to control Diamond Pharma Limited and BHJ Consulting Ltd, instructing lawyers, approving accounts, managing staff and receiving over £80,000 in consultancy fees. His wife, Louise Jogia, 57, received a seven‑month suspended sentence and a 10‑year disqualification.
