WASHINGTON, D.C. - A federal grand jury in Camden, New Jersey has
returned a 17-count indictment charging two New Jersey men with
conspiracy to defraud the United States, income tax evasion, and
willful failure to account for and pay the IRS employment taxes
withheld from their employees' wages.
The indictment alleges that Anthony Lionetti , who resided in
Hammonton, New Jersey, was the owner and president of two Lyme disease
treatment centers, and that Donald DuBeck , who resided in Shamong, New
Jersey, was the companies' vice-president and office manager. It
alleges that they withheld income, Social Security and Medicare taxes
from the wages of employees of the Lyme Disease Treatment Center and
Tick Born Disease Group, and made only
partial payments of the employment taxes collected in 1999 and 2001.
The indictment alleges that Lionetti and DuBeck failed to file
employment tax returns and used the collected but un-remitted taxes for
the own personal purposes.
The indictment also alleges that Lionetti and DuBeck paid themselves
additional income that was not reported to their payroll-processing
company, and for which no taxes were withheld. Lionetti allegedly did
not file his income tax returns for the years 1999, 2000, and 2001.
DuBeck, who did file returns in 2000 and 2001, allegedly failed to
report all of the income he
received.
If convicted, the defendants face maximum potential sentences on each
of the charges of five years imprisonment, followed by up to three
years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. In addition, they may
be liable for the costs of prosecution on the tax evasion and failure
to pay charges. |
