Crime and Courts Friday, June 1, 2012 Five sentenced in $1.7 million tax scheme Filed false returns for the deceased, and had checks mailed to Florida by WKSU's KABIR BHATIA |
 Reporter Kabir Bhatia | | |
In The Region: Two people have been sentenced to prison for their roles in a Northeast Ohio scheme to collect tax 1.7 million dollars in tax refunds for dead people. WKSU's Kabir Bhatia reports. |
Fahim Suleiman of Florida and Muuad Salem of Akron join three others, all from Northeast Ohio, sentenced earlier this week. Suleiman received five years in prison, while the others will serve between 18 months and 3 years. All five had plead guilty in March to charges including mail fraud, conspiracy to defraud the government and identity theft.
From 2009 until last summer, the group filed false tax returns using social security numbers of the recently deceased. Justice Department spokesman Mike Tobin says the refund checks were then sent to addresses in Florida.
“They had co-conspirators who would pick up the checks. And then in some cases they would cash the checks. In other cases, they would mail the checks here to Ohio where they sold the checks to people who, presumably, would go cash the checks themselves.”
The five defendants were each also ordered to pay more than 177-thousand dollars in restitution to the IRS. A sixth defendant, Daxesj Patel of Canton, is scheduled for sentencing next Friday, and Tobin expects his sentence to be in line with the others. |
