Tax Cheat Indicted in Texas
Austin businessman Victor Antolik is facing federal charges for filing false tax returns and obstructing the IRS, according to a recent indictment.
The indictment, which was handed down by a federal grand jury, accuses Antolik of five counts of filing false tax returns and one count of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the due administration of the internal revenue laws.
According to the superseding indictment, Antolik, who owned and operated a commercial janitorial business in Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, used a variety of business names, including Diversified Building Services Inc., DBS Services Inc., Partners in Cleaning, PIC Building Services, and BSI Industries.
Additionally, Antolik earned income as a real estate agent, real estate broker, and property manager through his companies SGN Realty Inc. and Signature Realty Services.
For the tax years 2004, 2007, and 2008, Antolik submitted four false individual income tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), underreporting his income. Between 1998 and 2014, Antolik attempted to obstruct the IRS by attaching altered Forms W-2 and 1099 to his tax returns, providing false information to his accountants, and using nominees to conceal income and assets.
If convicted, Antolik faces a statutory maximum sentence of three years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and restitution to the IRS.
It’s worth noting that an indictment is not a finding of guilt, and individuals charged in indictments are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo thanked agents of the IRS-Criminal Investigation, who are investigating the case, and Tax Division Trial Attorneys Robert A. Kemins and David Zisserson, who are prosecuting the case.
