PITTSBURGH – In a grim turn of events for Dubois, Pennsylvania, Gary E. Mills stands accused of a heist not with bullets but with numbers, facing federal charges for filing false tax returns.
The Acting United States Attorney Soo C. Song announced that Mills, the sole defendant in the three-count indictment returned on May 2, is accused of intentionally underreporting his and his wife’s income to the IRS on April 15, 2015, and August 1, 2014.
This brazen act of financial chicanery could land Mills in prison for up to nine years and leave him with a fine totaling $750,000. The severity of the sentence will be determined by the seriousness of the offenses and any prior criminal history.
Assistant United States Attorney Shardul S. Desai is leading the government’s charge against Mills, who has been investigated by both the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
As it stands, an indictment is merely an accusation, with the defendant enjoying the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.
This case serves as a stark reminder that even in the realm of digits and figures, white-collar crime is no joke, and justice will seek to mete out its due diligence.
