Fairport Woman Guilty of Lying to IRS Agents
A Fairport woman has pleaded guilty to making false statements to federal investigators. Ann Marie Laurini, 48, admitted to lying to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents in connection with an investigation into financial fraud and money-laundering crimes.
Laurini was employed by Kenneth Griffin from March 2006 to May 2008, and engaged in acts that furthered the financial fraud. When questioned by federal agents, she falsely stated that she had not engaged in various acts of deception in furtherance of the fraud.
The investigation, led by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, resulted in charges against Griffin, Brian Campbell, and two others. All four have been convicted of various crimes.
Laurini’s guilty plea comes with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. She will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci on October 9, 2014 at 3:00 p.m.
The guilty plea is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into financial crimes in the Rochester area. The IRS has been working tirelessly to root out corruption and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John J. Field, who is handling the case, praised the work of the IRS in bringing Laurini to justice. ‘This guilty plea is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the IRS agents who worked on this case,’ he said.
