IRS Agent Facing 9 Years For Cheating On Taxes
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California-based Internal Revenue service agent is facing nine years in prison for cheating on taxes.
Federal prosecutors say 51-year-old Albert Bront pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Wednesday to filing false tax returns for himself and two innocent relatives. The false tax form claims included bogus alimony and mortgage deductions.
The former Santa Clarita resident admitted to a federal judge that he filed fraudulent tax returns for himself from 2003 to 2007 by claiming excessive deductions and failing to report income. He also admitted filing fraudulent returns on behalf of two unknowing relatives.
Bront has been on unpaid leave from the IRS since he was charged in 2009. He faces up to nine years in prison when he's sentenced on April 13.
