Fort Wayne, IN – A grand jury in Fort Wayne, Indiana, returned indictments against Jovon C. Harvey, a 44-year-old resident of the city, on September 11, 2013. According to the United States Attorney’s Office, Harvey is charged with two counts of attempted tax evasion for tax years 2007 and 2008, three counts of failure to file a tax return for tax years 2007 through 2009, and one count of wire fraud.
The indictment stems from an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Assistant United States Attorney Anthony Geller has been assigned to prosecute the case. The indictment is merely an allegation, and all persons charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
If convicted, Harvey faces significant penalties. The specific sentence to be imposed will be determined by the judge after considering federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The investigation by the IRS highlights the importance of tax compliance and the consequences of attempting to evade taxes. The IRS works tirelessly to ensure that individuals and businesses pay their fair share of taxes.
Harvey’s indictment serves as a reminder that tax evasion and wire fraud are serious crimes with severe consequences. The United States Attorney’s Office will continue to work with the IRS to investigate and prosecute individuals who engage in these activities.
The case against Harvey is a prime example of the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies. The IRS and the United States Attorney’s Office will continue to work together to ensure that those who attempt to evade taxes are held accountable.
