Jeweller to the stars faces time behind bars

A celebrity jeweller who numbered Madonna, Kanye West and Elton John among his customers is pleading guilty in a deal with US prosecutors over a federal money laundering case.

Jacob Arabov, a Russian immigrant known in the hip-hop world as “Jacob the Jeweller” and “the King of Bling”, will appear before a court in Detroit later today on two counts of making false statements to investigators.
