A former insurance salesman was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Boston for evading taxes in connection with more than $470,000 in theft from three clients.

Paul Disidoro, of Georgetown, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, three years of supervised release and $613,806 in restitution. Disidoro pleaded guilty in December 2015 to attempting to evade taxes.

According the district attorney’s office, Disidoro operated an insurance business from 2007 through 2010 and acted as a financial adviser for some clients. During that period, Disidoro stole more than $470,000 and used the money for his personal benefit, including online gambling. He failed to report the income to his tax preparer or on his federal income tax returns, evading $144,000 in taxes.
